Magico A5’s Arrive!!!!

Sounds like my waiting until next year to do my final upgrades is worthwhile. Of course, I am assuming at some point Magico releases a S7 Mark II speaker.
 
I thought perhaps the dealer was fulfilling later orders in front of mine in order to keep the money moving through ‘cos he thinks he’s got me on the hook.
No one can tell me about delays?
 
If you have concerns, you could try speaking with your dealer. They should be able to provide you with an approximate delivery estimate. Magico is selective in who they allow to carry their speakers, so I would encourage you to have a bit more trust in them.
 
Thanks, nekoaudio. I was advised 8 weeks, then 12, still no delivery.
I will talk to the dealer again, although if he says there is a delay, I have no choice but to believe him unless I have other data (which I don’t!).
Are you seeing long delays yourself?
 
Hi
Three years ago I waited about 16 long weeks for my S3 to arrive in Israel
Be patient, it’s worth the wait :D
 
Now that we've moved house, it does appear that speakers slightly larger than our A3's are in order. I'm going to listen at the local dealer, in the next week or so, to the A5's and the Rockport Atria II. They are priced similarly. I heard BIG Rockports there a couple of years ago when they had a Nagra demo and that system as a whole was quite stunning.

I really want to hear ProAc K6 but I think that there is one place in the country that (might) have them on the floor.

The only downside is that my local dealer's rooms are so heavily damped that they bear no resemblance to my home. But I can at least get an idea of the differences. The A3's sounded a little "boring" there but when I did an in-home demo they really came alive.

What are the dimensions of the new room Bart?
 
30' the long way (combined kitchen and family room; kitchen at one end, speakers at the other end) x 23' wide. 9 ft ceilings. A very "open" floorplan so no chance of 'pressurizing' the room.
 
I switched from the standard SVS 1000s to the Pro version and was surprised how these small sub add to the instruments weight and soundstage performance. The SVS 3000 Micro dual driver hits pretty hard as well.
 
Everyone still enjoying their A5s?
I'm still waiting (25 weeks now)- I should've invested the money in some good stocks!
I have everything waiting for the speakers, new shiny cables and all- I feel like I've been stood up by a hot date :)
(She'll be old by the time she arrives!)

I'll give Boris a bell on the blower & tear him a new one!!
 
Have you verified they have been shipped? If not then ask why not. Also, is it possible to track an item being shipped from the U.S. to Australia?

I told the dealer I wanted to cancel.
Just that very day he said they arrived in Australia! What a coincidence, after no communication for 10 weeks.
He sent me a photo- could be from anywhere, its EXIF data is absent....
Tracking has worked well on some other items from the USA, but no tracking for me for this one- maybe he has / had tracking from USA to dealership?
So now I still wait.
If it isn't here by Friday, I'm cancelling.
Dispense with the wait, just upgrade to M3 now.
Ooof, yours look superb and the reputation is great but a bit too pricey for me :)
The wait makes the arrival a real event
That's a great idea for an attitude: I'll try to think that way for a few days to see what happens! Thanks, everyone. Happy listening :)
