Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?


A while back I was very enthusiastic about these speakers. They look nice and supposedly supposed to sound very nice. I’ve heard them a few times and the level of precision and accuracy is very good. But is there too much science going on to create the speakers that makes them at times a little uncomfortable to listen to for more than a few minutes.

Are modern age speakers going nuts with all the science?

Unless you hear Magico speakers in a dedicated listening room where every detail has been addressed you're probably not going to hear their potential. 

This is true of any good speaker. I'm shocked by what even cheap speakers can do when I put some effort into optimizing their placement in a reasonably well conditioned room. No, they don't sound like the Magicos, but they can do things I didn't think they could possibly do. I'd say 99% of the people who use them never know what they're actually capable of. With the cheap speakers, 99% probably don't care.
