Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound

Rasmika,

You'll find no argument from me. The Q line, based on the 3 and 5 that I've seen and heard, is incredible. Great sound and seemingly of the highest quality. Fit and finish are superb.

I've heard Avalon sound wonderful, but I agree, Magico is pushing some boundaries in terms of aluminum enclosures and they do sound different from the audiophile norm. Not everyone likes that. I've described the sound as neutral and transparent in other threads and I think a lot of that has to do with the enclosures. I just hear very little distortion.

I also agree, that in terms of brand awareness and perhaps sales, it's "working well for them."

I also agree with Bvdiman. The Mini2 sure looks great in a more formal, traditional setting. It is a classic design and brought much awareness to the brand. I'll hear the Q1 someday, and I'm sure it will sound fantastic.

Ramzika, It's just amazing what one reads on this site. I never knew a nice cabinet was a liability and detraction from a speaker. Kitchen cabinets?

Oh well, such is life. If someone was giving away money to whomever asks, I'm sure there would be some people complaining about that too.

Sorry if I offended you, Rtn1. I am sure the Avalon is a fine speaker. Perhaps you should read my post again and, hopefully, tamper your amazement . I did not criticize the "beauty" of the cabinet, in fact I even acknowledge it. However, I am sure you would agree that veneer laying, as crafty as it gets, is not the most important thing in a loudspeaker. BTW, the entire world is complaining (More like screaming) about those who gave many away to whomever asked...

Touché.

Lets all dump our old Magicos now and jump on the new ones so they can make more money!!
