Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
Hay, do not kid yourself. Rowland had what must have been some of the worst sound at the show. I felt sorry for him. It was a very sad room and I am not surprise it did not get mention in any report. I can only assume he was splitting the cost of ... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
Daveyf, this is going too far. I gave you a simple way out of this but you insist voicing your opinion on the Mini. A speaker that you most likely never seen or heard. It was clear from your comments that you did not have the speakers in your room... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
But that was the point I am trying to make. It is indeed your prerogative to like whatever you whishes. You may like the G’s better but it is not because the mini’s are inferior. There is nothing in the “real world” that will indicate it is the ca... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
As I stated before, I rather not argue with people hearing statements. Your sarcasm comment on the price undermined your impression even more. I can see, based on your associated equipment, that the MM are not in the price range of your other equi... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
"More naturally extended in the highs"?? Have a look at http://stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/487/index5.html And then look at http://www.magico.net/magico.pdf. How is it more extended if the G's tweeter drops more then an octave below the mini... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
My question was: how did you get the impression that the MM are hard to drive? They are not. They MM are not very efficient but they are easier to driver then many other world class speakers. I am using the CAT JL2 to drive the MM as loud as I wil...

And how did you get that impression? Anything will sound better on the big ARC. It is a very good amplifier. JV entire review was done on the 210’s. That is a very real, somewhat modest power rating. I drive the MM with smaller amps as well. The M... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
I can not imagine why anyone will pair the Magico’s with a Thor amp. It is simply a bad match since the Thor does not have the power and the control the Mini needs. I have been a fan of SF for many years and owned a few different models over the y... 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
Like I said, if resolution, clarity and proper imaging and placements are fatiguing, then yes, the MM will fatigue you. It is almost like walking in to the sunny outdoor after behind in the dark for too long. It will be too much for some time but ... 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
If uncolored, dynamic, linear, low distortion wide band sound fatigues you, then yes, the MM can be too much… But seriously, I can not imagine a fatigue listening to a properly set up MM. Why don’t you tell us more about the setup you heard? 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
Yes indeed, I have been following Mr Wolf “projects” with outmost attention. Being an Engineer myself, I find his approach to speaker building extremely refine and, for a change, scientifically minded. I hope to have the opportunity to hear the Mo... 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
Thanks, I can wait to hear them. I also am waiting for something in between. It will only make sense for Magico to do so. 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
Did anyone hear the Model 6? I understand it won the 2007 Grand Prix award in Japan. Can the Model 6 be all that the mini is on a larger scale?
