The biggest issue I see with very expensive lines like Magico is the extreme depreciation that occurs in the used market. These products do not appear to hold their retail value any better than others, and perhaps worse so in some cases. The used market is really where one can determine worth and value. Magico would seem to hold value about as well as other competing lines. So it would seem to be a good idea to make sure if you buy very expensive gear like Magico new, to make sure you are not going to want to change and sell in the foreseeable future. In general, I am skeptical (interms of value) of companies that do a lot of expensive marketing for very expensive products, but that is just me.
I've heard Magicos and they are certainly very fine speakers. BUild quality is Magico's focus it seems and is in fact top notch, but that necessarily constrains how big the product can be. Bigger rooms require bigger speakers. That's pretty much dictated by physics.
Used prices I see these days seem pretty competitive. I would probably look towards Magico new only if I were much wealthier and living space were at a premium.
I would guess they do best in large metro areas where people have money but not necessarily large homes or rooms to run a system in.
