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.
