It’s all in the music imaging. If you listen to electrostatic you get this large life size representation but you have to have a big room which becomes an extensionof the stage. Also the types of music that sound great on them are narrower. Bass ported speakers sound great but loose out on the big stage presentation and placement can be critical. Magico are built with particular emphasis on their cabinet construction and the results are a fast imaging like electostats and without the ported bass constraints.
I am sure the better Tekton offerings will give you as much enjoyment as a good pair of Magicos at a more expensive price point specially for pop, hip hop, rock and other similar genres. Electrostats would not be as good.
Put on some great Classic music and then the electrostats will blow them away and the Magicos will give them a good run for the money.
IMO the more expensive speakers and the more expensive amps,preamps,etc all add into a more life like representation of the original recording if that’s the end result you are looking for. You also have to have the proper amplification, room size and treatments.
Final analysis after listening to a system costing say 10 to15 K with top notch Tektons and competent amps etc you would proclaim this is an awesome system and that it would be hard to beat.
After listening to 100K Magicos with another 150K in support system you would proclaim this is an awesome system , hard to beat, and you would add that it sounds a “little” more ‘live” and “real” than the other awesome system next door.
This is what the price of admission is in Hifi.
It’s like cars. Compare a Subaru Wrx Sti to a Mustang Shelby to a Corvette to a Porsche to a Ferrari to a Lambo to a Bugatti to an F1 race car and to a sound barrier breaking experimental vehicle.
