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?

Potentially, anything labeled accurate is not musical. What good is accuracy if there is no musical enjoyment in the listing room. Then you have to throw thousands more dollars to fix the problem. My test for musicality is if I find myself toe-taping. 

Definitely don't want to put big speakers in a small room. 

Erik_squires just touched on an important point with the use of tubes preamps will make a positive improvement for these particular speakers Further I don't think there is another component that will have as big an impact in your system than the preamp itself.
