Magico vs the world

The Tidal are beautiful loudspeakers, but for me, just like all other speakers with ceramic drivers, are ultimately fatiguing. I spend hours in front of a system mastering recordings, and what may sound impressive at a demo can become extremely unpleasant in the long run.
The Magico don’t jump at you, they are balanced and neutral, and they will take the form of whatever it is you put through them (look at all the different opinions, many are at a complete contradiction with each other). Some will find it boring. Many audiophiles are looking for extra excitement when listening to music. I just want to hear the music as it was capture, it is interesting enough.

I agree 100% wonderful observation.

@mheinze which Tidal models did you hear and which what electronics?
Also which magicos and what electronics?

Also Mheinze I wonder if you would like vimberg more. Its also ceramic but its tuned to be much more relaxed and not fatiguing. Soundstage ultra has a good review of the Tondas.

My brother and I wandered into the Magico room at the show in LA last summer. We have been at this for a while. My brother used to set up Von Schweikert speakers at shows for Albert in the 90's. His ear is much better than mine. We both have had high quality systems, while not mega dollar, good solid systems. Anyway, we both had never heard Magico and were really interested in hearing them. At the show, the Magicos were presented by a nice reputable dealer from here in SoCal, so we thought this is going to be good!  They were not. We listened for a few minutes and looked at each other and said, 'lets get outta here' Sorry, but these speakers were the most over rated, non-musical, sterile sound, I, personally have ever heard. I figured that most of the folks who were in the room and liked them must not have a good ear. Meaning they would not know a good speaker if it bit them in the rear. I mean not borderline 'not great' but actually, 'really not good'. The cool part of that show was that Albert was there and my bro chatted with him, he had not seen him for 25 years. Plenty of good sound at that show, just not in the Magico room.
