In the monitor range, try to listen to a pair of Aurum Cantus Leisure 2SE Signatures. For a fraction of the price of any Magico speaker, you get the ribbon tweeter, great imaging, excellent bass response, and an extremely smooth delivery of the mid frequencies wrapped in a very very nicely built cabinet. You'd be shocked at a comparison given the price difference.
Maggie versus Magico
Heard latest Magico speakers recently on a very high end tube-based dealer set-up. The system delivered a sound that was very "Maggie" like to my ears, with the small box/dynamic design Magico minis on stands, perhaps as much or even more so than any other similar box/monitor design speaks I have heard recently.
So I was wondering if anybody has actually done a/b comparisons between MAgico and Maggies and would share their observations?
Are the Magicos worth the extra investment? I would expect that they may be easier to place properly in most rooms, so if you must have the Maggie sound in a room with more limited placement options, maybe Magico is the way to go, if you can afford them?
I have a small pair of Triangle Titus monitors that when acquired convinced me that box monitor designs can be as smooth, clean, accurate and transparent as Maggies on my rather moderate cost system. These cost a pittance compared to the Magicos. Is it technically even valid to compare a pair of Triangle Titus or Cometes that can be acquired for <$1000 to a much more expensive design such as the Magicos?
