Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2?
A dealer called me with an offer to sell their demo Magico M2’s at a massive discount. I was recently in their shop and tested the A5’s with my Gryphon Diablo 300, and I found the bass to be lacking with the A5’s. I think this was likely due to the fact that they had less than 250 hours on them.
My room, while not massive, is on the larger side. Vaulted ceilings that rises to 14 feet at the peak, about 26ft front to back, and open on the sides (house is open concept). There is a large and tall island that separates out the listening area.
Considering my room size, and considering my not so great experience with the A5’s, should I bother lugging my amp into the shop to test the M2’s? I have to travel a ways so it’s a bit of a commitment. But the discount they are offering is about $25k off. And they said it would include the M-Pods. Thoughts?

At Axpona, I auditioned the A5 vs Rockport. The A5 had great midrange but seemed to lack treble sparkle. The Rockports were better balanced but seemed clouded. I ended up purchasing the AXPONA Vimberg MinoD because my dealer worked to get me a great deal. @nyev I think you should purchase the M2. Worst case you'll resell them with minimum/no loss and maybe a gain. The M2 is much better than the A5. The Mpods are a fantastic bonus. |
@ronboco yes I’ve seen your photos and Avior I’d and it looks awesome. After ruling out all local options I may need to book that trip to Boston using my points…. A bit concerned about catching COVID or now monkeypox while traveling (what next), but only because Canada issued a warning that if you are sick you may be forced into quarantine! |
