Has anyone heard the Magico Q7 yet?


Hoping someone who went to the show will post listening impressions. The guys over at soundstageglobal.com were impressed.

I'm sure some will be sold. Perhaps not at full retail, but that is usually not known. The 94 dB efficiency is most welcome in these sealed/cone speakers (as a Mini II owner, I would appreciate more efficiency). But how do you move a speaker that weighs 750 lbs? I doubt JV at TAS will get those up to his third floor for review.

If it sounds anything like the incredible Q3 with more bass extension and impact, it would be a really great speaker IMO.
I haven't heard the Q7, but I did attend demos of the Q5 and Q3 with Alon Wolf present, and the volume seemed just below "live" levels. With such low levels of distortion, the audition was quite comfortable and non fatiguing. I sit in the 12th row at the Boston Symphony Orchestra and when Wolf played classical music, it sounded about right, that is, quite natural.

Sorry, I just realized you were talking about MBL. Well anyway, Magico does not blast the volume.
