Magico Q7 . . . wow

Interesting, whenever there is a Magico thread, opponents quickly change the subject to other speakers which they own. Very few people have heard the subject of this thread outside of show conditions.

Two posts, you would figure in the second one you MIGHT spell Vandersteen correctly....

Shakey

clearly prdprez doesn't know what he's talking about and should just be disregarded

As for me, Pete....I am well aquainted with all of the speakers in question....

Hmmm...well.. as I own Q3, I love my Magico and have not heard anything near its price range that I love better. For what's its worth, I heard Vandersteen 7 under show condition and in a dealer showroom (where I heard Magico V3 many times) and thought that V7 was nice but if I have the budget now, I would not replace Q3 with it. Recently, another friend auditioned Q3, Sonus Faber Amati Futura, Rockport Avior extensively in his home. I heard Futura there briefly and thought that it beautified everything and really put its sonic signature forward strongly. Some friends like that but I was not one of them. At the end, my friend also chose Q3. Unfortunately I did not hear Avior there but heard it in a different room later.

I never heard a system under show environment that let me hear the full potential and when I come home, I always feel very good listening to my system right after hearing those big Wilson, Avalon, Scaena, YG. So I would not judge Magico or anything for that matter under those condition.
