Has any one heard Magico Speakers?

I feel the reason Mr. Valin did not include a Kharma comparison was so as NOT to burn bridges.Let's face it.He got a load of Kharma stuff for extended use.My perspective was to read between the lines.Owning a superb sealed box design,myself(Avalon Ascents),I never wanted to move to the ported Avalons(Eidolon) as they never appealed to me,and I'm not too affected by marketing,in my old age.
As to the Magico Mini,I have a sneaky suspicion they will outperform the 3.2's(opinion only),and I do like the 3.2's alot.Yet the FABULOUS owners manual coming with my Ascents(no longer made available by the "new" Avalon corp)speaks,in VOLUMES,to the subject of ported vs sealed enclosures.
A good perspective,and common sense goes a long way!!

While I do not own the Magico speakers nor have any connection with the company, I did hear them at the 2006 CES and believe that AudioRevelation's comments were fair and accurate, but that is not really the reason for my post. About 12 or 15 years ago, I purchased an early Rockporet Sirius 1 prior to the air isolation base or the Jeff Rowland power supply. At the point that each became available, I purchased them from Andy unheard. The air isolation base was a clear and very audible improvement; however, power supply was a different story. It clearly did some things well but in the end just was not right. At that time, I had several conversations with Alon who also owned an early Sirius. Not only did he have the same problems but he was able to identify the problem (use of a digital frequency generator in the PS to regenerate the 60 hz AC wave) and clearly articulate the effect it had on the sound. How does this relate to the Magico speakers? In three ways i) Alon has been involved in audio for a long time, first as a hobbyist, now as a manufacturer and had access to most of the best products out there; ii) in my experience, he has excellent ears and is very discerning; and iii) in my experience he was always friendly, courteous and willing to share his insights. It is also my understanding that he does not depend on the sale of his speakers to make a living. He manufactures speakers because he loves music. For me, at least, this adds up to alot of credibility.

To Response34. 20k standmount speakers may seem like an obscene amount, but if ou visit the TAS forum thread, a nice analogy has been made up by another buyer, who compares the Magico as "Wagyu" and many others as "Meatloaf". They are not that small in real life and in fact command quite a presence in most moderately sized room. Hope you manage to carry such a fine line of products.

Regarding the Mini,I had a nice conversation with Jeff Rowland recently.We were discussing the "power factor correction" circuit he was designing for my two chassis 8t.I asked him what speakers he liked,these days,and what was he using,for himself.He told me he had two pairs of the Magico Mini speakers.He went on to state that he "loved" the look on people's faces after they hear them.Mentioning they stage HUGE,and in his opinion,are fabulous!
A pretty convincing endorsement!

I have auditioned them twice, at the dealership. Both times, I was very impressed indeed. However, my listening room dimensions requires close to but not quite nearfield listening, and when I experimented by moving the chair to an equivalent distance, the Minis continued to be brilliant yet the axis was a bit high for me.
