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?

Problem is nobody has this pristine perfect acoustically designed room from which to hear these perfectly acoustically designed speakers. And then even when you do start hearing them the way God intended they’re probably too clinical and fatiguing. When you are in a showroom you don’t hang around and listen to something for very long so it’s very difficult to judge and usually the show rooms are not very good.

I think he means that you need to spend over $50,000 to get a quality sound from an overpriced speaker and that same quality sound was available for $25,000.  Depends on how well your Wallet leather is stretched and then $25,000 does not become very expensive for a set of speakers.  

The dealer was playing the stretch maneuver by only displaying the very expensive speakers.  Actually in hopes that when you choose a lesser speaker you won't feel so awful about spending a lot of money.

That’s the problem because there is a lot of good music poorly recorded and it’s really nice to be able to comfortably listen to it. So this pure accuracy you speak about that magical magico has accomplished may not be the greatest for those who want to be comfortable listening to music.

And then to say that if you don't like how it sounds it's because you have done a poor job matching all the equipment to make it optimal is absurd.  It's a marketing gimmick because there are people out there not happy with it just because they don't own all the precise recommended components you need to make it work properly.  Gosh can you imagine sitting down for a really good meal and saying oh I don't like the main course because all the side dishes have impacted how it tastes to me - this would lead to mass starvation.
