IMO the best sounding Magicos were the little V2s. The M5s were also good, but very expensive. Somehow the new Q3/Q5 sound too analytical and too sterile for my taste.
Apples to apples (spending a given amount of $$$ and the same electronics), I do not understand how anyone could choose any Magico over SF. Maybe you guys need some Q-Tips?
You could put a very nice sounding system together for what just the Magico monitors cost. Makes no sense
Assuming I could afford them (bad assumption currently with two kids still to go to college) before I would make a final judgement on their value/performance, I would have to hear them on some different systems.
I think even my modest Minimus 7s would have sounded fantastic (limited bass extension assumed of course) on the rigs I have heard the Magicos on.
