Speakers or Amp

Xti16,

When I heard them at my friend's house they had more "air and separation". My room is 20' x 26' and it allows me to place the speakers 5-6' in the room. I'm looking forward to hearing them with my amplifier and will definitely provide comments tomorrow.

Xt, I didn't know there was an issue (with Magico) or a hatchet to bury?..thanks for enlightening me.

Re: Raidho. Yes, their drivers are certainly fast and accurate. Magico's latest graphene and diamond-coated beryllium drivers however are lighter, stiffer and faster than the previous generation & are better drivers all round. Also the S7's in particular go deep in the bass & can move a lot of air. So it is a matter of personal taste.

Ricred1, it appears that you are seeking a particular sound. Could you describe, if you know it, what exactly you are looking for?
I noticed that you have no analog source. What if you are looking for an analog sound in digital playback?
I hope, I am wrong, because if I am right - you are doomed. No speaker or amp can do it.

Several months ago I listened to my friends Raidho C 3.1s and a couple things stood out compared to my system: more air around instruments, more space between instruments, and extremely good vocals. The speakers were driven by a Jeff Rowland 525(I had one and traded it).
When I attended RMAF this year I listened to a couple systems that had "more air" and "more space" between instruments than my system and none of them were playing an analog source. Simple stated, I'm looking to add more air and space within a certain budget.
