Magico vs the world

Everywhere I look I only see people (end users and professional reviewers) raving about magico. Build quality, incredible sound, etc... everyone just loves them, especially the modern series, A3, M series, S series (mk2 variant). It is impressive for sure. But I am curious, what speakers have you heard that you compared to magico that you like as much or maybe even better?

Still haven’t heard a musically convincing Magico system in a decade. They are analytical, non-dynamic, and not particularly coherent. YG is a much better speaker in aluminum land.

I own Hailey 2.2s actually, nice snarky comment.

I've heard M, S, and Q all in dealer demos, auditions, and/or at shows. Numerous amps too (except Pass which a friend runs with apparent success). The best I've heard them was on was Gryphon. I was very interested in the brand at one time but just feel YG is superior for a sealed box, aluminum speaker and ended up purchasing a pair. More alive, better micro dynamics, magical hybrid tweeter, and Yoav's crossover is the secret sauce that brings about a musically superior experience. But YG doesn't have the Valin marketing muscle.

Great comments enjoy what you like YG is definely another great speaker.MAGICO is great as well it took me years to get them to sound there best.I would certainly agree that YG and MAGICO are among the best.Your 100% right Valin is a big MAGICO booster.He suddenly said the MAGICO Minis were just ok after the new models come out making me loose thousands when i sold mine.I told him this at AXPONA.Remember he gets everything on long term loan for free.Enjoy!!
