Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers

In other countries they use a period instead of a comma

This is a very practical pair of speakers for most people who can afford them, afford a place to put them, afford to sit in this place, afford... oh well, you get the picture. I guess if you want to include the "Planet vs. Planet" level of sound which it generates, go for it. I will pass, not even wondering why anyone would want them.

I'm on it.

I just need 625 more $1200 stimulus checks from the orange guy. 
 MAGA=Make Audio Great Again!

Hearing about that makes me sad. We read all the time about the death of hifi in the US, and it’s blamed on iPods, the Internet, Spotify, and people’s shortened attention spans.

But maybe it’s also the ramp-up of prices in audio. Even the less expensive but well-known lines like Bryston and Parasound are increasing their prices far faster than inflation. That surely discourages many potential buyers; the inflation-adjusted US median income has barely moved in about 20 years. Who knows what it will look like in the next couple, with the impact of COVID-19?

I do think that $10k power cords make audio hobbyists look stupid. What’s important (to me, and I know to many others) in our hobby is the MUSIC. That depends on the musicians, on a chain of people and equipment throughout the recording process, and finally on the hifi system in your home. A jewel-encrusted power cord may make a difference, but does it really make the music better on a range of recordings? That’s not been my experience.

My hat’s off to companies like Schiit, who produce well-performing gear without a lot of nonsense at a price most people can afford.

Not to take away from Magico’s accomplishments; but I’d rather see more manufacturers in the Schiit space than the Magico space.

@kenjit how do you feel about this? Bunch of drivers in a box, I think you should call Alon directly and tell him he is doing things wrong.
