Magico - Wide vs. Narrow

Hi Everyone,

I'm not looking to buy, but I am a big fan of wide baffle speakers.  I realized recently that Magico had a history of making wide baffle speakers (like the M5) which they seem to have gone away from in the current generations. 

I'm curious if any fans have had a chance to hear both and if they have a preference, or impression especially in regards to being able to hear the recording space and imaging.

Thanks!

Erik

@erik_squires   : "  just want to know if others have noticed distint differences we could attribute to baffle width "

 

No one could do that with different kind of speakers. The only way is two similar speakers ( same everything. ) with difference only if wide or narrow.

 

Sense to you?

Hey @rauliruegas  ---- Not really.  I get what you mean about apples to orange comparisons but I think it's possible to hear trends, especially in regards to the acoustic effects I'm asking about.  :)

In my experience most wide baffle speakers do have somewhat of a distinct sound. This may also be due to the fact that many wide baffle manufacturers also subscribe to old fashioned design ideas like lossy cabinets, flat baffle fronts, etc.
