Magico A5’s Arrive!!!!

Sorry to hear of your very long wait. Global shipping is just shit right now, extremely unpredictable. I had an air shipment from Europe took almost 4 weeks. Another one took 2 days. And ocean shipments which are normal 6 - 8 weeks can be double that. Then there is customs clearance which can add more time… hang in there!
 
Hang in there, I'm sure the wait will be worth it. But if you do decide to cancel you can get my Q3 for a good price.
Thanks, brodricj, I appreciate the offer-we will wait and see what happens by tomorrow!
I also appreciate the fact that you are in the "right" country :)

Yeah....but....I've just had my 10th Royal Caribbean cruise cancelled because I am in the "wrong" country for that past time....kinda wish I was living in Miami.
 
Hi, at the start of this tread, mike said they are $20k ish, here in England they start at £28k, this puts them in a whole different league, they might be great value at $20k ish, but at £28k that could be a whole different story, at todays rate that's $38,499,00 now that is a huge difference,

And where are all the Accuphase price complainers?

38.5K includes 20% VAT? the US list prices are Net of State sales taxes which can be 9.5%.
 
There has been a price increase in the US since their release I'm pretty sure.

Yes US-made hi fi is expensive in the EU and UK. Exchange rates, shipping, etc.

Picture above is an A5 being measured with the Klippel Near Field Scanner. (Harley mentions this in his M9 review)

If you're going to Munich, the A5s will be shown with Pilium, MSB, and VYDA in Room # F115.
 

Maybe that’s one of my A5’s ;)

I was recently told my pair will be delivered by the end of this month (May). They were ordered December 2021. Unfortunately nothing I have ordered over the past year or so has been delivered within the original guess-timate.
 
There is a lot of weight suspended on that flimsy looking contraption. But if it can hang 1000lbs of M9 I'm sure A5 would be no problem at all.

Not shown is the big 8-ton gantry for suspending the speakers.

Thx for the show pictures Bob. Surprised Magico decided on the A5s for Munich. While nice speakers, I would have expected an all out assault with their best at Munich.
 
Unless I’m mistaken, they rely on their local distributor to bring the speakers.

Would love to have seen M2 or M3, especially M3, my favorite. I had the M3’s at home for over a year. Just fantastic.

S7 would have also been great. You guys remember that S7 demo with SSUBS at RMAF 2015? It was mind blowing good.
