I would definitely buy one of the several used YG Acoustics Carmel 2s for sale on-line or the Ascent over the Magico or Kaya.

Vivid kaya 45 or Magico A3
I am looking for a new speaker to replace my 803d3’s. I don’t need the lowest frequencies in my 14 x 19 ft room. And i want a slightly quieter, more honest sound. So, what would be a good replacement?
Can someone tell me about differences in sound?
- vivid kaya 45
- Magico A3
My amps are: pass labs xp12, Bryston 14bsst2
cd: simaudio 650d, Bryston bcd3.
thanks in advance!

@audiogek Synergy is what you need to figure out. A high wattage Bryston amplifier might perform better with a warmer "thicker" type of loudspeaker. Dynaudio would be one example. |
@dayglow in my opinion a preamp particular determines the color of the sound. My Pass Labs preamp is on the warm (a bit like a tube amp) side, the Bryston is more neutral. |
@audiogek Thx for taking time to reply. Have you considered mating Pass/Bryston might not be subjectively synergistic? It’s well known Bryston amplifiers have a very synergistic match with ARC preamps. A synergistic "band-aid" effect works less than many Audiophiles realize. |
