Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound


Did not go to RAMF this year wanted to know what was Magico showing and how did it sound?

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.

Perhaps it's not his cup of tea. Speaker selection is the most subjective choice we make.

Maybe you don't get it.
