Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?

and this is why I am not buying this junk 

(and also because my wife would poison and then shoot me if I spent Botswana's national debt on speakers)

The inherent character of Magicos is on the analytical slightly dry side. The latest models are less so. The are somewhat similar to B&Ws in that regard but their frequency response is more accurate than the latter.

However some people love that kind of sonic signature - just as some people love Naim and Chord electronics.

@Emerging Soul - to answer your question, I don't think it has anything to do with science per se. Magicos are extremely well engineered speakers, but there are lots of other equally well engineered speakers that have a different sonic signature.

It is not the science, but what the designer does with it that determines the end result.

The myth about Magico being clinical dates back to the Q series. The later A and new S series sound nothing like that. The new S3 mk3 has a very smooth and refined sound.

The key is matching your equipment tothe speakers maybe a dac with more body 

or a. Tube amp,or preamp ,even cables  there are many options or just buy a different speaker. There are lots of ways to contour your audio system.

I auditioned the S series. I liked Rockport better.
