Ebm,
The BPT has been fabulous in my system, but I won`t argue over such matters as this,to each their own.

I`ve come to the conclusion that Magico speakers are very polarizing. I`ve heard various models on 3 different occasions(CES and RMAF) and I feel the same as you. I find them very amusical and unnatural yet others simply love their presentation. So it is a perfect example of "to each their own" which is as it should be.

Usermanual,
Judging a speaker simply based on construction,driver array etc.. means very little . Ultimately what matters is how it sounds and reproduces music. We all know this is subjective, I`ve found the Evolution speakers to out perform the Magico by a wide margin in terms of realism and natural tone, you obviously feel otherwise,it`s no big deal. Both seem to be doing just fine in the marketplace.

Let us know how this match works out.Thanks. |
Jwm,
Many would agree with your impression. Two very different approaches.I`ll always prefer musical realism rather than 'audiophile' genre accuracy(artificial). |
It appears that Elberoth2 is using a Dartzeel amplifier to drive his Wilson speakers. Neither of these speakers would be considered an 'easy' load. |
Peterayer,
I would agree a move in the direction of higher sensitivity is a smart one. The other consideration is easier ohm load(avoiding those low dips below 4 ohms) if this is indeed possible,depending on their philosophy. |
"Would you buy a car from such a salesman?"
Yes,I don`t except the premise that an analog source is inherently superior.One can achieve superb music reproduction with 'either' digital or analog components. It will depend on the quaility of the specific source and system set up. Both formats can be just average or fabulous. |
"seems a disservice to the audience"
Apparently not to him if 'he' believes his digital source front end equals any analog he`s heard,purely subjective, that`s all. |
Audiofreak32,
Stereotypes exist concerning 'all' things audio(even Linn).SS components have as many cliches said about them as do tube gear. If people trust their ears and choose what sounds good to them they`ll do fine.

It`s simply a matter of opinion. If you believe there are appreciable differences between the two formats that favor analog that`s your choice. Not everyone agrees, simple as that. Some will find both to be equals and some even prefer digital at this at this current stage. There`s no absolute answer ,this will depend on who`s listening/judging.Your preference is no more or less 'informed', it just yours and that`s fine.

Halcro,
Yes we most likely hear differently(nothing new there). The issue is not everyone views analog as the ultimate sound as you do. I`ve heard excellent vinyl set ups and also some that sound just awful(same can be said for other sources). If you feel that those who don`t share your same criteria/standards don`t count as credible reviewers well so be it,we`ll just disagree.
