Did a weekend home demo of the A1 speakers with the dedicated Sound Anchor stands. Very impressed with both the sound and mass of these units (with stands, about 125 lbs each). For the right room these are a great choice below $10K. A bit industrial looking for a living room/reading room system such as ours.

Did a full mono (mono v mono) comparison with the existing Audio Physic - the A1's did not go as low of course, but the bass was noticeably tighter. the highs.( e.g cymbals) were unmistakably better.
Might try the S1 MKII.

Looking at LCR full replacement and want close to perfect voice match.
Bump
Is anyone using ACC center with other Magico speakers?

I’m using a Magico ACC center with M project speakers in my basement theater. They blend seamlessly and sound great! Paired with REL25 subwoofer.

The Magico A5's are a perfect match with the all new Boulder 866 Integrated amp!
I finally heard it back to back.
No, an M2 it is not.

How did you find the sound of the A5’s? I wanted to purchase the 800D3’s but the center was no longer available in black. The new D4’s are beyond my budget.

Ill probably post a thread about it.
I compared 803d4 to m2 to a5
Same room
Same relative positioning

Aurender MSB ref Dac MSB s250 and synergistic research everything including Galileo power conditioner.
