Magico Q5

Finally I've got the chance to listen to
the Magico Q5 at the top audio show in
Milan. The setup was with Spectral amplifiers
(the same I have). Even if there were many people
and it was a "show" listening (no dealer will let
me try them at my home), I was very very impressed.
I would like to hear some more about those speakers
and opinions of the owners.
Thanks and greetings from Switzerland Sergio

I got to listen to the Q5. It did have some favorable sonic characteristics, particularly the imaging, upper-end extension, and tonality.

To me, it fell short in the musical attributes, and the bass was not quite what I would expect for the price.

IMHO, That applies to the whole line of Magico. While I respect their build quality and to some extent their sound, their marketing has been stellar in the last few years. The line is priced ridiculously and their used values are in an indictor of how over-priced and hyped their products are, again IMHO.

Heard it today in a Magico-Soulution-MIT MAX set up. It is the first Magico that worked for me: dead neutral and open. Does not reach the sub woofer level depths but...what it did, it did awesomely. Could really live with that one. Price in Europe is insane however.
