Ebm, my room is rather large about I heard Q3 works wonder
in smallish room, about 4.5x6.. M room as well. My local dealer mentioned one customer who has Q3 in a roughly 4x5m room or something a bit smaller even with no problem at all. Seems that Magico is quite forgiving as far as speaker placement and avoiding boomy bass is concerned and is not very difficult to at least get a decent sound from all sort of placements but certainly if you find the right spot, I have not heard anything better near its price point at least as far as my taste is concerned.
I heard that Q5 was measured closer to 83 dB tahn 86dB somewhere. Not sure about Q3's 90 dB. My amp seems to have a bit easier time driving Usher Be-20 (90dB/1 watt/8ohms)
louder than Q3 90 dB/1 watt/5ohms.
My friend with Q5 was asking if I might be interested in his Q5 as he is considering Q7. Unfortunately I think that in my rather large room (6.8x8.2m with large opening on one wall) my Lamm will not be able to drive Q5 adequately so I have to sadly decline!
