Magico is very TRUE to source so important to drive them properly.
When I was in market for speakers, I demoed Q3 and Q5. The dealer demonstrated their chameleon characteristics in driving them in 2 configurations. One all Spectral and other tube pre with SS amp. All Spectral was horrific and other EXCELLENT. At the end I decided on another brand.
What's interesting is dealer said at shows, they usually drive them faster than the Spectral configuration. Probably reason Magico earned poor musicality reputation especially with SET fans since most only experienced them at shows.
Syntax, can you briefly describe the system you demoed Q5? Just curious.
