Magico A5s arrive at Rhapsody....color me confused;)

My A5’s are very close to be broken in. I played a few heavy bass tracks and they shake the house!
Imaging is incredible. Even when playing at low levels, the A5’s have lots of bass drive. Guessing it’s the Bryston 28B Cube that helps.

Magico A5 SILVER

MAGICO A Silver Series (A1 Silver, A3 Silver and A5 Silver)

Flagship A-Series Loudspeaker A5 (3 way / 5 driver design)
Hayward, CA (USA) – December 2022 – Since introducing the A5 loudspeaker system the color option was singular - a beautiful black brushed aluminum finish.
We are excited to announce that the A5 will also be available in a beautiful SILVER brushed aluminum finish. With the exception of the new Silver color and finish all other design elements of the A5 loudspeaker remains identical.
The A5 Silver loudspeaker requires a more labor-intensive finishing process to prepare the reflective anodized Silver surface before applying and curing the clear coat finish. This additional workmanship adds a small increase to the cost schedule for A5 Silver.
A5 Silver SRP $ 28,000 /pair - shipments commence in January 2023

Summarizing the original press release, the A5 incorporates a 28-mm Beryllium dome tweeter, the companies first 5-inch pure midrange driver and new 9-inch bass drivers. The advanced cone material used in the midrange and bass drivers is formed of sandwiched honeycomb aluminum which provides an optimized stiffness to weight ratio. The transducers are housed in an extensively cross-braced T6 6061 aircraft grade aluminum enclosure and the musical signal path is managed by the Elliptical Symmetry Crossover control network.
NOTES
A5 Silver - Existing open orders of A5 Black may not be substituted for A5 Silver.

PRICING for A1/A3 Silver
A1 Silver (SRP $ 9,800 /pair) will be available (min quantities) in December 2022 with increased quantities starting middle Q1 2023.

Having lots of time during the recent holidays to play everything from jazz, piano, trumpet, limited classical and great R&B. These speakers sing! Sometimes I sit off to the left of my speakers and still have incredible imagery.
Played some bass songs and I cannot believe how strong the bass can be and so controlled. I get chest pounding bass which I never expected from a sealed speaker. But then in the same song, full low end extension.

In HT, the ACC is incredible. The LCR stage is so even and vocals are seamless. Lots of low end from the ACC which was completely lost in my last front end, B&W 802N and HTM1.

I listen to my A5’s all day.
