Does anyone do off-axis listening as well as Magicos?
Speaking of expensive speakers in bad environments, one thing I've heard Magico's do superbly in several environments is have great off-axis sound stage and imaging. Quite musical and lively.
Who else of current makers does as good of a job??
Years ago I had a pair of Totem Model One Signatures driven by Simaudio i7 integrated. Obviously a smaller system than Magico but imaging, on and off axis, was phenomenal.
Every speaker that I heard with the tweeter placed on top of the midrange seemed to sound good from many listening positions. The best being the KEF Blade.
definitely not everybody's idea of high-fidelity, but the bose SR-1 Cinemate was just about the only speaker system [other than the maggie tympani III] i've ever heard that could present a wide and uniform stereo image no matter where one sit or stood in the listening room.
