Magico vs the world

Heard the S5 I think it was ... not even close to a natural presentation.  No thanks.  I recommend the Canalis Allegra.   It's like they're not there.

Hello,I had a pair of Dunlavy SC V, and those speakers was suppose to be my last one, but when i heard the Magico A3 i was very impressed. For the sound of course, but also for the image. When the set up is good the image is as big as the Dunlavy SC V with much less speakers volume.
So,I bought the Magico A3 after listening three other pairs of speakers. It was: Sonus Faber Olympica, Dynaudio Contour 60 and Paradigm Persona 5F. Those speakers was good, but nothing comparable with the Magico A3 for the same price. The sound and the image of the A3 was more than three time better than the others speakers that i heard.It's why i bought them. 
Note:
First if you buy them new, be patient, patient and patient.... Some people sold them after six mounth or less and i hunderstand them. The Magico are very difficult to break in("à rôder" in french). You have to be patient because at the beginning they sound very badly. Acording to Magico it takes 600 hours, but i thing it takes more than that.
And when they start to sing   ...it's Magico.

With respect to comparing and judging speakers it’s imperative that comparisons are auditioned in the same environment. You’re just guessing otherwise which is what we do because home speaker trials are rare I think. FWIW

How can anybody make a better speaker than magico? Its a cost no object speaker designed to be the absolute best. What are you supposed to do to make it better?

Well you can use different technology that works better, that's one way.

At Axpona last year the two best systems I heard were Magico M6's and the B&W 800D3's. Magico's running off of D'Agostino gear, B&W all Mcintosh gear. The amazing thing about the Magico display was that it was literally in an open air atrium in a dead end of a hallway outside of all the conventions sized listening rooms. It sounded like a concert. Pretty amazing. I wish I could post pictures here, you almost have to see it to believe it - they literally made a hallway sing.
