Magico Comparison

Peterayer,
You make a good point, Teeshot did inquire about Magico.The Rockport and Magico based on my listening to both brands are very different altogether and have little in common. What one likes is personal and subjective. I prefer Rockport but Teeshot may not and finds the Magico more to his taste.That's exactly why so many choices exist in High End audio.
Regards,

The Q3 is one of the poorer speakers Magico has made...not that I really like any of them. Audio is such a "what's new, I'm bored already" world these days, so the Q3 got lots of news. Wolf proclaimed to the top of his voice how much better the Q3 was over the M5. In reality, the M5 is a lot better in a musical sense and is one of the better Magicos ever made, maybe the best.

The Q3 will soon be yet another abandoned speaker by Magico, so the value there will suffer as much as the M5. M5 sounds better, better deal, nicer looking.

Inspect the M5 for delamination of the stacked ply, there was a problem with this on several units and he cannot fix them.

Peterayer, finally someone with common sense, I agree with you 100% and I don't own Magico.

Jwm, what speakers do you own?

I own the ESP Harps model down from the concert grands

I heard the sason and the original Magico years ago
The sason to my ears definitely better
This is only my opinion but to me it's the only one that counts
