Haven't heard Magico's. Now I don't know if is the chestiness your talking about. My Vienna Acoustics Motzart Grands have a slight bit of more body than most speakers I have heard. And that it one of its endearing qualities to me. It has more natural body, maybe thickness, to me. And a lot of speakers I think lack that, and that gets tiring for me to listen to such spaekers. When you hear instruments and voices in real time and real space, and I have heard a lot of that, it has a feel to it that I get that with vienna' speakers and not with many others. I am sure there are many speakers that do what mine do and do it better. I am just saying I like the body or weight of the sound of my system and speakers. Maybe that is what Magico owners like about those speakers.
