Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2

" Interesting most Magico demos speakers sound boring."

You didn't use to think that when you worked for SBS

Sciencecop many listening rooms have an abundance of absortave materials which can smooth out perceived brightness. 

Here is the Stereophile measurements of the Magico S5 note the large suck out in the top end

It looks like neither speaker is flat.

 So you can have a top end that in a real listening room may sound balanced the Persona or one which may sound dull the Magico.

Its not a "suck out" its how a tweeter should behave, just look at the lateral response and see how smooth it is in comparison to the Persona trainwreck response. No room treatment will fix that.
But really, I am not going to argue with you on measurements, you clearly have no idea what you are looking at.

@audiotroy  unrelated to this thread but have you heard the Magico M2, M3 or M6? M2 was just so impressive. Incredibly detailed, amazing expansive sound stage. Best speaker I've ever heard. It was being drive by a big luxman integrated amp and chord dave + mscaler.

And ya thats the guy. Hes a nice guy but I was really curious at his conclusions.

Anyway trust me own ear I guess.

Magico is named magico.  It's absurdly expensive so almost nobody has ever spent any quality time with it.  How can anyone find this brand anything but ridiculous?  You don't feel like maybe it's just appealing to your vanity?  Maybe you're being taken advantage of?  Nobody who had heard it would say that, I know.
