Magico - a new Mini?

Holenneck,

Good fined, statements like this are encouraging "We listened to both. Sonically, the Q1 is better in every conceivable way: more extended top and bottom, improved resolution across the entire audioband, and simply breathtaking in terms of midrange clarity. The differences were not subtle!"

...at least they will sound good even though they are ugly at least compared to the Mini 2.The pictures of the Q series build quality is very impressive and the 5" voice coil on the large Q speakers is huge!

Thanks Holenneck, impressive indeed.
James63, have you actually seen them? I like the way they look, and if they are built like the Q5, they should be a nice jewel.

No I have not, I have just seen a few pictures online. If you read through the tour they state the final product is going to look a little different anyway.

Given that the Q3 is $35K, I would assume that the Q1 is about $20K.

I was at CES this year and I was able to listen to the Q3. It was the best speaker that I got to hear at CES (Q5 was there, but I missed it). This being the first Magico speaker I’ve ever listened to, has totally sold me to the brand. I have been in the market for a "bookshelf" speaker to replace my B&W 805d's so I plan to wait on the Q1's. Build quality was outstanding both on the Q3 and the Q1 display. I agree with James63, the q1's weren't pleasing to the eye but if they are anywhere close to sounding like my first experience with Magico, then I’m sold. I close my eyes when I listen anyway!
