All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!

Glupson, kenjit has a condition that he can only hear yoko ono. I don’t care how good the speaker is, how can you prove one is better than the other with that? It’s a suckers bet, lol

I know Alon personally and I have an engineering R&D background. We have worked on some techniques for his speakers and I can tell you this. The materials he is using are very expensive and the techniques cost a lot to implement. I prototyped a honeycomb stressed skin design 20 years ago and it was like listening to an electrostatic. 

@jkf011 has it right. A $22k speaker represents good value?

I paid ~2300 for a pair of Harbeth 30.1, and while I am quite sure that there are better, more expensive speakers, the returns diminish so sharply above a certain point, that I would never consider paying anything like 10x the cost.

The materials he is using are very expensive and the techniques cost a lot to implement.

But you could just use concrete which isnt expensive so its still overpriced

Discussants, may I ask if anyone has compared the Magico's, the Rockport Avior 11's, the B&W 802d3's, and Revel studio 11 in particular consideration of features contributing to the cost of each.  Specifically:  1. Do the Magico's and Rockports employ costlier drivers and crossovers, and if so does this make a sonic difference ?  2.  Does the 802d3's' enclosure technology....tubed tweeter, 'turbine head' midrange, semi-ovate base enclosure....allow cabinet inert-ness and other advantage equivalent to or superior to that inherent in the Magico aluminum design or the ultra-thick MDF, backward-raked Rockport design ?  3. Does the technological prowess and volume-related production efficiency putatively attributed to B&W and Revel translate into either the B&W 802d3 or Revel 'Studio 11' offering sonic quality equivalent to the just-cited Magico and Rockport models ?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
