HELP !!!!!!!!!!!
Magico owners, fans or anyone that can help?
I am told Magico can be super revealing of a problem or weakness upstream which is fine is that is what it is and when you know the weakness???
I am so bummed out!
Shoukd say super bummed - got my Magico S5 set up and I mean everyone says how incredible they are -
I mean I don't think any of these are big time bottlenecks or weakness causing system sound problems being exposed by Magico or are they???
I have a first rate source - Bricasti M1SE - first rate amp - Pass Labs X350.5 which is known to be a pretty warm amp - HiDiamond D8 Speaker Cables which are not Nordost Oden but are very nice copper cables that cook over and over to get all impurities out of when they manufacture the cable and are quite compitant, Verestarr Grand Illusion Signature IC's which are also very nice and even a bit warm and these Magico's are burning a whole right through my head like a lazier beam.
I've been setting them up and measuring and tweaking and they are giving me a royal head ache now?
How can this be? I spent a ton of money and time and was so looking forward to these?
These are top rate speakers? They make me want to buy a Cary preamp an old school CJ tube amp and get Cardas Golden Cross Cable Full Loom? Which I can't do and I'm sure would sound like crap?
Even my non audiophile wife said these don't sound as nice as your other speakers - how come? Msybe she sensed it from me but I'm like - really ??
Any advice? Maybe my brain needs to adjust but there is going to be some serious adjustment- my last speakers were total opposite of laid back - they were ultra revealing but I wasn't expecting this?
Bummed to the extream but also hoping a tube pre and maybe a cable change can get these to settle down?? Maybe need to be driven a while also? Just back from Magico and had some service so maybe some new parts or something needs to break in??
I ran them low volume 24 hours before any critical listening if you can call it that? I need to do something and change something just not sure where the heck to start ???
