Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers

Thanks Tomic60. The Magico purchase saved you a trip flying out to Roanoke to set up Vandersteen Treo’s. The Treo’s came in a close second to my ears, and were great recreating vocal performances. Don’t see how anybody could go wrong with them.

Larryi, I’m sorry I missed my planned third stop at Deja Vu. I got so excited after listening to and buying the Majico A3’s I completely forgot my planned stop there. I had a message from them when I got home, so I called them back today and offered my apologies for standing them up after they had set up the ProAc’s for demoing. The good news is I still get excited about audio equipment at age 66. I’ll be sure stop to at Deja Vu next year when I’m auditioning amps, since you’ve made them sound so intriguing.

Mike

Congrats skyscraper.   I've heard the Magico A3 and although in that audition they weren't my cup of tea, the showed lots of promise and had some stunning sonic qualities.   I came away thinking they had to be one of the great current audio bargains.

Like you, I used to go on extensive speaker auditioning journey's.  I'm in Canada but would make trips to NYC, Buffalo, sometimes LA.  I was insatiable once I was on the hunt.

It's good you managed to find your speaker so quickly.  I look forward to your impressions of the A3s once you own them.

You really think @skyscraper they out there to get you? For $200 on a $10,000 purchase? Is it more likely it was a honest clerical mistake? Besides, you paid just a deposit, no?
