Magico A3

[Norty]

If size and space are a concern, you might want to consider a used pair of Magico Q1 instead of the A3. Should be a little cheaper on the used market than the A3 is new, and I found that they responded very well to SAM. I enjoyed the pairing of the Q1 with my Devialets (both as 250 and 800/1000) and thought both really brought out the best in the other.

Thanks for the suggestion.  The room size is on the boarder-line of using bookshelf speakers versus floor standers.  Unfortunately, the speakers are placed in a high traffic area and my wife bumps them at least 3 times a week.  My concern that being top heaving could result in a divorce.   I might take the time to map out the room with pictures and get suggestions from the group.  I trust you guys more than anyone and your experience is well beyond many sales people.  I'm not married to Magico but the pair did come up for about 1/2 retail a 20 minute drive from home.
