Ritmo,
Thanks for that report. That's an interesting comment about price-points. I thought my Magico Mini II was competitive in the $18-20K range, but not at its final price of $32K. Now you suggest the Q1s would be good at $10K. Considering that they are supposed to outperform the Mini II, my $18-20K range was a bit off. I have to go and listen to the Q1.
I think it's tough to justify 20k for most people for a stand mounted 2 way. I though they sounded really good, by the way - but still the customary limitation of a small stand mounted speaker.
Another problem I have with stand mounted speakers, other than the lack of bottom end and limited large scale dynamics - is that the still take up similiar floor space to many other floor standing speakers.
It''s a relativley small niche market for this type of speaker.
MAGICO MINI is very coharent,great stage, pinpoint imaging and in my room bass goes down to 32Hz.They are the best looking 2 way on the planet thats just my take.I will also state they are overpriced.
Ebm,

Maybe, the Q1 doesn't sound better than your Mini II. A new product doesn't always mean it's better than the one it's replacing, companies do get it wrong sometimes and right the problem later on with newer models. Audio is subjective, we all have our preferences, me...I might pick the Mini II over the Q1 if I had to live with a monitor, this would be a tough decision though.
I thought the Q1 sounded nice at the show, clean and accurate, the tone was very realistic. I was expecting much more from the Magico room though.
