I have had Magico A5s now for a couple years. I like them very much but frankly just want more, something bigger. I initially ran them with Luxman 900 power amp and various pre sources and then moved to Diablo 333 thinking the additional power would make the Magicos louder and more impactful. The A5s start flagging at about 95 dbs. Looking at selling the A5s and getting the Fyne 704s (don't think I can afford 704sp). These seem to be about biggest sounding speakers around for the money. If I were to lose a little detail or something else by making the switch i am ok with that if the 704s are much more likely to make my living room sound like a concert hall. Any thoughts and experiences appreciated. Are there other speakers around this range that could also be considered to achieve what I am looking for?
 
For more or bigger, have you considered adding a couple of subs. I went from the A3's with two SVS subs and moved up to the S3's and still found that adding the two SVS bring just more to the soundstage and music.

Having owned 704's, and many speakers since then, my vote is wait for the coming Lockwood speakers.

A much longer history than Fyne, bigger sounding, and more musical. Fyne to me was nice indeed, but definitely more of a hifi analytical sound.
