To me, the best looking Magico thus far is still their Minis. Now, if your home decor is like the NASA labs or recording studios, the Qs would fit in more appropriately. But in normal homes/listening environments, something in line with the Mini2 or TAD monitor would suit better. After all, aren't we so called 'audiophiles' supposedly to be their target niche, if so, it's not so smart a move moving away from the generally acceptable norms. Even industrial look could be made more pleasant and classier (commensurate with price), the new D'Agostino amps, Burmester and MBL gears comes to mind. Of course, ultimately what matters is how they sound, however, to use domestically, looks DO play a part too, waf, decors, etc2--especially when paying high dollars, imo.
Usermanual, after the Minis, next on line for Magico, I do like the look of their bigger Qs. Just that to me, this all-black stealth design doesn't work as well implemented onto the tiny Q1.

Long ago, from Mini2s I did contemplate trading up to M5, but couldn't somehow get along with its appearance to live with on daily basis--too squarish and the alum flanges, kinda odd, imo.

Agree, on your take on Goldmund..

So basically what I'm trying to convey here is that for the kind of money, we deserve something that not only sounds great, but 'visually' appealing as well. Fully understood that its subjective, but I bet few would argue that Lambos and Ferraris are beautiful sports cars.
Usermanual,
I did.
Guess for speakers I much prefer the more conventional (simple/plain/bland?) but nice and meticulously executed designs for now. One that's more classic and timeless looking. I adore beautiful natural wood finishing, but of which unfortunately is not an option for mine.
