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.

What source were they using at the show?
What is the "Magico Concept"; I don't get it. So many other speakers with better sound for less money!
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.
I thought they were very good - clean and resolving with good transparency (not great), impactful bass, and overall accurately in tone. I wouldn't say they do anything wrong, but I never felt any emotional connection when listening to them. Based solely on performance, I'd say they'd be a good choice if under $5000. And their current pricing however, you'd need a LOT of extra 'value added' stuff to justify the purchase. Just my opinion.
