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?

I don't think - although I can't know for sure - that the sound you heard was colored by CAT electronics to the extent of sounding 'chocolate-y' , unless someone was playing around with tubes.

I owned CAT electronics for many years, and colorations in the system you heard is not an inherent trait of the CAT 'house sound.' Their sound is closer to exactly 'neutral' not "yin" or "yang," although between the two, it would tilt towards Yang (infinitesimally bleached out).

I wonder what else in the system might have produced that. The front end, or the cabling, perhaps?

More to discover
