Underwhelmed with Raidho everyone likes something.
2-Way Advice: Magico S1,YG Carmal,Diablo Utopia
Guys I've been considering a speaker swap. Have found that I love 2-ways.
I didn't really know this until I started listening to different speakers and kept liking them more, much more than the fulls.
They present a different perspective that I prefer. I don't listen real loud and have a med size 2500 cubic foot room and I much prefer tight and accurate, faster more defined bass and don't need the real deep low stuff. I love how they image and disappear and make the music more alive to me. Listen to Jazz, Acoustic, Blues, mello rock, Indie, some classic, the usual phile stuff..
I have it boiled down to a few and really would love your opinions. Buying used and they are all over the country and just can't listen to all of them. I know listen first is best and would love to if I could. They are all within $500 of each other price wise with shipping to me.
Have you guys heard any of these and what you might think of these??
Magico S1 Black
YG Carmal 1 Silver
Focal Diablo Utopia III - Silver
Sonus Faber Guameri Momento
Langerton Configuration 217
Tannoy DC10A
Ascendo System F (Only non 2-way I'm considering)
Any info or feedback or recommendations would really be appreciated!!!

I know about the Magico, YG, and Sonus Faber. The Magico and YG are dry and brittle for my taste - but some love that sort of thing so should not be dismissed on that account - however be sure to audition before buying. The Sonos Faber are good - but IMHO way over priced and over hyped for what you get. I know a speaker maker that has had a number of SF in his shop to work on and when you open them up the quality of parts for a high end speaker is disgraceful. Don't know the others. However the speaker I would add to your list is the Rockport Alya. For me, although I have not heard that particular Rockport, Rockports in general float my boat better than SF, Magico and YG. |
Ricred1 - I don't have any first hand experience with Scansonic speakers. I have read about their association with Raidho and many favorable comments about them mostly from show reports and comments on other forums. It looks like they have a handful of dealers in the US listed on their site http://www.scansonic.dk/international-contacts.6877.aspx. |
