Out of curiosity, I visited one of the high end retail shops in Denver to listen to Magico speakers. I am not sure why people in this group brag about them. They sounded pretty sterile. They had a pair of Rockports sitting in the same room and they blew the doors off the Magico's. Their cabinets are gorgeous and the timber from the wood helped make them sound more like instruments. I guess they should for $60,000 attached to a $60,000 Class A Boulder amplifier and $40,00 speaker wires. He also demonstrated three DAC's and I didn't realize how much of a difference in sound quality an expensive DAC can change sound quality.
What impressed me most is they demonstrated Master Set. I was unable to detect left and right speakers. The sound projected between the speakers as if there was a large center speaker between the towers. It helps to hear an obo, French horn and other instruments appear in the space it was recorded. Wonder why the subject Master Set is never discussed.
