Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?

A few days ago I took the opportunity to listen to a dSC > Burmester (hybrid) > Magico S system, and it was exceptionally good.  Musical, and not fatiguing - among the very best digital SQ I have ever heard.  I tend to listen to vinyl, and this system sounded that good...

So I agree with the earlier comments stating that the Magico speakers are accurate and extremely revealing (compare to many other brands of speakers), so your font-end needs to be up to the task. 

You will hear it all, the good and the bad.  Isn't that what generations of audiophiles have been asking for from manufacturers?

I've heard Magico's and have always found them a bit clinical and without emotion. The Mac gear is just too soft and round sounding and can't control those large Magico woofers, not a good match with Magico IMO. Look for an amp with current. 

With Magico, you don't listen to the speaker per se. They are so accurate and neutral, you listen straight through to the electronics. I heard a 25K A5 powered by a 100K amp/preamp/DAC rig (Essence amp + pre, Rossini Apex and Clock) and literally thought the singer was singing directly to me. I could not believe what I was hearing in a 25K speaker! The only knock on them is that they are made for dedicated listening rooms which few of us have. I say that because they are just too ugly/commercial looking to place in a living room. For this, I (and may wife) lean to Estelons and VIVID Giyas, but looks are subjective. 

Last year I was shopping for new speakers and went to a dealer to hear the A3’s. He had the A5’s and played them for me with a VAC Sigma 170i amp. I liked the tone of the speakers but what really impressed me was the imaging. Maybe it had to do with the fact that the speakers were at least 6’ from the wall (which I couldn’t do at home), but it sounded like I was listening to a full band layered in 3D space that was as deep and 3D as a live band in real space, something I had never heard before from speakers. I would have bought the amp and speakers, but my wife didn’t like their appearance. I ended up with DeVore O96’s with a Leben CS600x integrated amp. A different sound, but a setup I’ve been very happy with.
