Further Information: 

This flagship A-Series 3-way/5-driver model is the most popular in the current Magico range, but has hardly ever appeared on the used market previously, for good reason. Read the many reviews and some think it exceeds the performance of many of the Magico S & Q series more expensive speakers and is seen as a bargain versus many $100,000+ speakers. This is because Magico has developed many world-first advances in driver, crossover and enclosure technology, it leapfrogs earlier, more expensive Magico models to become arguably the most complete speaker ever produced in its price range, in terms of measured as well as subjective performance. A5 enclosures use the same aircraft-grade aluminium and construction methods made famous in Magico's Q-Series,while drivers are derived from their top M-Series. Each uniquely-braced 82kg cabinet sounds completely resonance-free.

 

The following excerpt from Jeff Fritz’s (soundstage ultra) review summarises nicely the sound quality from the A5s   
 
“The A5 produces deep, linear, weighty, detailed bass; clear, neutral, present mids; and highs that always reveal and never detract from the music. The A5s produced soundstages that could be vast, and images on those stages that were precisely placed and sized just as you would imagine they should be. I loved listening to all types of music through these speakers for hours on end, and at wildly varying volume levels. In all those hours, I heard no weaknesses in their sound.”

Many reviews are available including Absolute Sound, Stereophile, TONE Audio and hi-fi+.

 

The A5s have unprecedented stiffness-to-weight ratio in all drivers, including their first 5" midrange, resulting in wider dispersion and transparency, increased dynamic range with effortless control and extension, all with a new level of musicality. For once, a long list of impressive technical advances you can read about online, actually translates to what is obvious when you listen. It makes the $50,250 (including grilles) price tag seem quite justifiable. When half price in this condition, complete with shipping cartons and all accessories, a rare opportunity!

What's with all the speaker connections?

Hi what you are seeing at the speaker terminals are Jorma bi-wire speaker cable, Stillpoint e-Loops and Synergistic Research X-OT impedance stabilisers.

 

The speakers have a sophisticated crossover as outlined in the following review

“ the first loudspeaker manufacturer to use the new M-Resist Ultra foil resistors from Germany’s Mundorf. The new resistors are said to handle higher power levels while also providing “greater… transparency and liquidity.” A number of additional high-end Mundorf components have been employed in the crossover circuit – evidently, Magico maintains its highly refined crossover design philosophy across the A series too. The 3-way crossover network features a 24 dB per octave Linkwitz-Riley filter”

These speaker applied with some of the m9 technology, good to buy.
