Usermanual is correct, you have to judge for yourself. Like any other product the Magico will have admirers and also detractors. They don`t impress me at all, but you may find them fantastic.Horses for courses.
Usermanual, How would you describe the difference between the Q1 and your former Mini 2 or even the Q3 for that matter? I just haven't had a chance to hear the Q1 yet. I heard the Q3 at a demo at Goodwins introduced my Alon Wolf. It was wonderful and perhaps the best such demo I've ever heard. Congratulations on your new speakers. I also "get" the Magico concept.
Hifimaniac, And some that are more expensive and sound worse (: Peterayer, A big step over the Mini, IMO. I can go into superlatives, but you should just go and hear them. Will be worth your while. Source were LP, Clearaudio I believe, and a Nagra R2R. Just got the Q3, thank you. It will be a very enjoyable winter.
Hifi, I guess we just disagree. I would describe the "Magico Concept" as very neutral, very transparent, low in distortion. No immediate sonic thrills. It takes a while to get used to because they do sound different. You just don't get it. That's fine. I have not heard the Q1 yet, so I can't comment on that speaker specifically. I do like the Q3 though. Don't worry about it. I'm sure there are better speakers out there and some for less money.
