Magico's M9

classic Audiogon clown show stuff. why do i even take the time to look? i know how the posts will read already.

can’t this forum ever consider the performance merits or build quality of an expensive product, why does price get everyone’s panties in a bunch every single time? it’s a hobby site, not the editorial page of the local newspaper. i come here to avoid all that.

sigh.

the 'look'? the 'price'? yawn. double yawn. thanks for nothing.

not much brain power needed for those sorts of flippant comments.

i do appreciate any comments on the performance. thank you. and thank you to Magico for the efforts to build such a speaker. hopefully someday i can hear it myself.

so tell us details about what you did hear with the M9, what was special, and what it did not do for you. how it compared to others. and where you heard it.

ignore the price and the look....if that is ok?

@deep_333

i do appreciate you taking the time to comment on your Magico experiences. i can mostly relate. i could never wrap my head around the Magico sound, until two years ago when i spent a couple days at a local audio show where they had the Magico S5 MkII with the Q sub15 and for the first time i heard a Magico that i connected with in terms of musical emotion.

the Magico had always had top level cohesion, but maybe previously the speaker had been thread bare, lacking emotion and somehow now the QSub integration completed the picture. it was at this point when i looked at the M9’s differently. i figured it deserved the benefit of the doubt. but i still have not heard it.

but i respect how your long term Magico viewpoint came to be. it’s where i was until that point where i was touched by their sound.
