While I do not own the Magico speakers nor have any connection with the company, I did hear them at the 2006 CES and believe that AudioRevelation's comments were fair and accurate, but that is not really the reason for my post. About 12 or 15 years ago, I purchased an early Rockporet Sirius 1 prior to the air isolation base or the Jeff Rowland power supply. At the point that each became available, I purchased them from Andy unheard. The air isolation base was a clear and very audible improvement; however, power supply was a different story. It clearly did some things well but in the end just was not right. At that time, I had several conversations with Alon who also owned an early Sirius. Not only did he have the same problems but he was able to identify the problem (use of a digital frequency generator in the PS to regenerate the 60 hz AC wave) and clearly articulate the effect it had on the sound. How does this relate to the Magico speakers? In three ways i) Alon has been involved in audio for a long time, first as a hobbyist, now as a manufacturer and had access to most of the best products out there; ii) in my experience, he has excellent ears and is very discerning; and iii) in my experience he was always friendly, courteous and willing to share his insights. It is also my understanding that he does not depend on the sale of his speakers to make a living. He manufactures speakers because he loves music. For me, at least, this adds up to alot of credibility.
