| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? Listen, you can like what you like. We all love this hobby, and just like you I have spent the last 40 years listening, and buying, hi-fi gear. I also spent many years in school (and work), learning about the phenomenons that allow us to enjoy mus... | |
| To active speaker or not.. this is the question Active done right is definitely the way to go. The problem with most of the usual suspect is the quality of electronics in the speakers. They are simply not very good, due to cost consideration. | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? The DeVore are some of the most colored loudspeakers out there. Their top-end in-room response is dramatically shelved down, and their prominent midrange is riding everything else. (https://www.stereophile.com/content/devore-fidelity-orangutan-o9... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? @ctsooner Magico’s as he’s lifted the treble to make them sound more open on top Listen, you can like what you like, I am not about to get into a Magico dirt fight again, but some basic diligent of facts, not opinions, are needed. It is actually t... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... @fleschler The number one audio system at shows for the past three years has been his Ultra 11s as written up in Absolute Sound, Stereophile, Enjoy the Music, Positive Feedback and others, not Magicos.... Sure, none of these outfits ever gave rav... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Fleschler,Most of the speakers you like are grossly colored. Of course, we heard them all and seen some of their measurements. They are not very good, objectively, and in my case, subjectively. Perhaps you and your friends have been at it too long... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... There are many deaf or deluded audiophiles who listen to sound and not music. Yes, so many deaf or deluded... not to mention ill-advised that unfortunately insist on advising. BTW, my wife also has " very critical hearing" that is why she never li... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Haters will be haters 😉 Dark/bright, fat/lean, colored/dry, etc… So many conflicting reports, some still don’t get it, these are the most transparent transducers around. What you hear is what’s playing through them, the good and/or the bad. Aud... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? If you play digital, the MSB DAC can drive any amp, using passive analog volume control only. | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... The A3 sounded fantastic on an Ayre AX-5 Twenty. The dealer told me that if I order an A3 today, I would get it in Dec. Magico has sold over 750 pairs of A3s in the first 6 months of its introduction, twice as many as they predicted to sell in ... | |

| Y No YG ? At AXPONA the MUCH cheaper A3 sounded A LOT better than the Carmel. And that was a much cheaper setup. | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? Sorry, didn’t realize some people will get confused if I didn’t say "In My Opinion....” {:- | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? Audio Doctor, I remember you, from way back then (I was a client of Sound By Singer). The fact that AG lets you run your ad campaign here, for free, is unfortunate. I am not going to debate any audio matters with you, your credibility is questio... | |
