Re: Magico A3 Price Increase - Effective Immediately
When demand surpasses production capacity you'd have to be pretty bad business wise not to raise the price.

Re: Magico A3 Price Increase - Effective Immediately
If my memory is correct, previous price rise announcements all had a lead time before they took effect. This price rise is different, it was effective immediately. Those who might have been navigating the decision to buy process have been blindsided this time, and that is unfortunate.

Magico A3 Price Increase - Effective Immediately
That’s a good point. I’m not sure if it’s a standard practice or not, but whenever there’s a price increase from manufacturers, I don’t remember a time there wasn’t a small lead time, never “effective immediately”. A3 must be selling like hot cakes overwhelmingly and blowing the competitions away at $10k price point.
As a side note, if you’re looking, original S3s at used $10-15k price point becomes more attractive now. When A3 first came out, I talked to Magico and their words “If you are seeking sound performance enhancements over and above your original S3’s then you should invest in a pair of the new S3 Mk II’s”.

Re: Magico A3 Price Increase - Effective Immediately
One of the first articles on the A3's I read was from SoundStage Global in Dec. 2017. Alon Wolf invited their writer Doug Schneider to view and compare the A3's next to the Focal No2's The Focal speakers sold for $4000 more than the A3's. 43% more. The writer found the A3's comparable to the No2's. So, I guess the A3's are now 20% less than one of their main competitors.

Re: Magico A3 Price Increase - Effective Immediately
Good for all those who got in on the earlier pricing.....get a good 5 years out of them then sell them for what you paid.

It's kind of funny in that two of my purchases I made has gone up in value since I bought them. The Oppo 205 and A3's. I don't plan on selling either. But, how often does a stereo purchase increase in value after a purchase.

Re: Magico A3 Price Increase - Effective Immediately
Holy crap -- I'm glad I got my order into my local dealer back in December. Waiting until May (unless something changes) is tough, but getting the speakers, grills and pods at the "old" price is nice.

Re: Magico A3 Price Increase - Effective Immediately
the longer lead times prob also have to deal with having materials come from overseas. patience is a virtue!

Re: Magico A3 Price Increase - Effective Immediately
I ordered the A3 about 6 weeks ago and was lucky to get in before the price increase.
They should be arriving any day now.
The dealer is charging me $10,000 instead of $9800.
I questioned it and he said that Magico tacks on $200 for shipping.
I am happy to get them at that price, just want to confirm that this is true.
Thanks.

Re: Magico A3 Price Increase - Effective Immediately
Good luck with the A3's and welcome to the A3 club and this forum. My dealer sold me the Magico A3's including delivery for $9800 and no shipping cost to the dealer or me. This may be part of the price increase we are seeing.
