Magico A3 in small room
Hi,
I am considering the A3 for my office - 13' x 12.5' x 12' (height). What impressed me about the A3 was the bass coming out of it. Is the A3 overkill for a room like this? Any other speakers you would recommend?
Thanks!Last edited by joeinid; February 17, 2020 at 11:00 PM.

Re: Magico A3 in small room
Welcome to the forum. Your room is almost square. That is alway a problem. The A3 speakers like most full range speakers like room around them. If you like the Magico sound you might consider the A1 monitor speakers and add a sub.

CD/DVD: Oppo 205

Re: Magico A3 in small room
A3 will be fine. Sealed box makes them better to adapt to smaller rooms.

Re: Magico A3 in small room
Your description is more accurate of course. My room is not a large room 11'wx8'Hx16' to chair and open to dining room behind. My A3s are 6' from the front wall and 2' from the side walls. I think that extra length give my room some advantage for a three way speaker. Monitors with a sub can make it easier to work with in a small room.
Mike of course would understand room and size requirements much better than most people.Speakers: Magico S3 (23')
