Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound

I finally had a chance to seriously audition the Q1. Reading people responses here, I have to say that it looks to me that the better Magico speakers get ( Yes, the Q1 is MUCH better than the Mini or the V3 for that matter), the further it gets from the "audiophilia" norms. In other words; if you didn't "get" it till now, you will only have even greater difficulties getting it now. Just an observation, not a judgment.

Peter,
I like the aesthetic. It project a very high quality, no nonsense, image. It is in a sharp contrast to most loudspeakers, furniture or designer look, out there. I just watched the Avalon promo video. 90% of it shows how they build an MDF enclosure, and put a nice (Very nice!) veneer on it. Just about nothing on loudspeakers related issues, or technologies. Would have been appropriate if you are buying kitchen cabinets... As I said, the better Magico gets, the further it moves form "audiophilia" norm. It offers something new, and I don't think Magico expect everyone to "get" it. I think it smart, and from what I hear from the distributor, working well for them.

Cleaner more transparent sounding. Bigger and substantially more robust and dynamic. More extended, both top and bottom, and yes, more efficient. Not sure about ease of driving, but it sure seemed more friendly to smaller amps. I had the opportunity to hear a direct comparison. Quite an achievement.

Sorry if I offended you, Rtn1. I am sure the Avalon is a fine speaker. Perhaps you should read my post again and, hopefully, tamper your amazement . I did not criticize the "beauty" of the cabinet, in fact I even acknowledge it. However, I am sure you would agree that veneer laying, as crafty as it gets, is not the most important thing in a loudspeaker. BTW, the entire world is complaining (More like screaming) about those who gave many away to whomever asked...
