Magico vs the world

I’ve never heard a Magico but they have great industrial design and I expect they sound good but maybe need somewhat warmish sounding components to make them really sing. I’m just guessing. 
All that said I find my Wilson Yvettes to check all audiophile boxes while being extremely musical. In my room I’m 100% satisfied with the results. There’s no real meaning to my post other than to say that auditioning Magico would seem to me to require a listen to Wilson’s as well. Both are top drawer but I’m thinking quite different. FWIW

Haha Kenjit so funny. I saved that little exchange. I laugh so hard everytime I read it.

anyone like stenheim?

For sure price ratio quality  keep some signification ....

For sure nobody has ever heard hundred of speakers in the same conditions in the same house....

Then  price and reviews are some clues to go on with...

But no pair of speakers, sound the same, in various acoustical room, and in various electrical grid, and with various controls of resonance and vibrations...

Then how can we know?

How can we compare more than few speakers in our own house ?

And what would be the results of our own comparison if we had embedded these speakers differently, acoustically, electrically, and mechanically?

:)


My modest speakers are TOTALLY transformed, by some embeddings controls, i know for sure that any speakers can be put at another level by rightfully being embed....

Is Magico are the best?

I dont know..... But probably not.....

I own the 802d3's and question a lack of midrange and upper midrange resolution. I note that they employ 'continuum' midrange cones which are of variable thickness and stated to offer best available clarity via their combination of stiffness and self-damping...self-damping is as all know indeed considered important in loudspeaker cone design.
I auditioned the Rockpor Avior 11 and Cygnus loudspeakers, in respect of which Mr. Eric Squires' comments regarding the Magico A3's caught my attention...eg. 'shimmering color in the mid-treble to treble', and 'extra resonance in the low end of the female voice'.
To my ear the Avior 11's 'dissected' the resonance of violin ensembles in a manner reminiscent of the granular quality of similar music (? 'poorly') recorded in 26/44.1.  The midrange had a 'thin but 'loosely' resonant' quality.  How to compare to 'reality' ?  Well performed violin ensemble music...trio, quartet...sextet...has...'in the flesh''' a vivid but smooth quality, without harshness, without exaggerated 'echo'.  Well-performed orchestral music may, for smaller orchestras, be 'spare' but does not have a 'thin' quality.
In such reproduction both the 802D3's and Rockports to my ear
fall short.  Do the Magico a5's do any better ? .I hope to audition them when covid precautions allow.
I must thank Mr, Squires for his descriptive terms.
