In regards to the magico: this is WHY I chose to keep them. They easily let you hear what happened to the sound when you switch out components.
Well, So does the Tekton Design Double Impact speakers.... They easily show you equipment changes, front end , and cables ...they are that good You would be shocked at their performance , but of course you will never know . because of their price tag (3K), you think that they can't possibly perform any where near those 30k speakers .
Well , read the reviews .You would be sadly mistaken to shun them. but I know that you and many others
as well .
,do shun them,
I notice in your comments about gear , that you tend to think that if they cost more ... they will be better .
The Double Impact, Encore , and Ulfberht all are amazing speakers that can probably beat what you have .
Also , most of them are power friendly and can be magical with many low powered Tube Amps.
Please at least read the Reviews. If you do , you should at least be interested. I wish you would try the Tektons. I mean it would be a drop in the bucket compared to what you have been throwing around AND you get a Free 60 day trial. You don't like them, ... send them back.
It isn't all about how much you can spend or how good of a deal you can score on High Dollar Equipment, or at least it shouldn't be , but at least it seems that way to me . I just get the feeling that everything you are considering is all based on how much it originally costs. In other words if it was 55K Msrp then it should be better than a 35k MSRP item. It just gets silly when you get up to those kinds of prices. I mean obviously i ought to and should be . I just think that the Double Impact or DI SE The Encore or the Ulfberht would blow you away because of the Cost to Performance ratio as compared to the Magico.
Just my opinion of course and not meant to offend.
