Magico V2 vs. Q1

neither,

Both are over priced and sonically boring.

Check out the Berlin mini by dc 10 it's way more MUSICAL and CHEAP!! and about the same size. I had V2 and loved the look and build but the sound was average. IMHO

If you hate Magico keep on trucking!!Its ok DUDE!!

Stereotaipei, what other speakers did you auditioned before settling on Magico Q1?

When I looked replacement for the MM3, I listened to speakers from Raidho, TAD, Kharma, Marten, Magnepan, Wilson, Lansche, Focal Utopia, Avalon, Gyia, Joseph audio, Estelon, Hansen, KEF, MBL, Vandersteen, Sonus Faber, YG, Rockport, Nola, Aerial.... for each brand at least 2-3 different speakers.
I am lucky to live in a region where it is easy to hear most brands, and I am traveling all the time across the globe, so easy for me to go to listen to new stuff.
What I liked the most besides Magico is Gyia (but cabinet is not stable and drivers look fragile), TAD.
