Magico compared to Tannoy

Magico has the latest drivers and cabinets Tannoy has fifty year old cabinets and drivers.They both have cult like followings.

ebm hit the nail on the head for me. I have a pair of Tannoy drivers, in Tannoy enclosure.. You got to like them. 60 lbs and a pretty small box..
BUT nothing fancy just the coaxial design that last about 100 years per driver..

Magico -------------------------------------------------->>>>>>> way ahead in tech

So You know it was the 1990 before the Brits knew what BASS was..
Their speakers reflect just that..

You question is pretty generalized, so it's had to state anything definitive. But if I had to make general statements the Tannoy is a classic sounding product and Magicos are state of the cone speaker art. Go to Upscale Audio and watch a couple of Kevin's videos about Tannoy, he tells it straight.  

I own Magico A3s which are 88dB 4ohm towers. I understand that Tannoys are much more efficient. These like Zu Audio and Klipsch Heritage series would work well and even better with low power class amps like First Watt. However, My A3s are driven well by my First Watt SIT-3. 

A better comparison might be Fyne, as that’s where all the Tannoy engineers went to create a much more modern product coaxial driver product.
