The upstream components are a huge factor in the resulting sound. One of the best systems I’ve ever heard had Magico S5MkII mated with Convergent electronics. There are lots of variables, but their sound can be superb.
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?
