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?

The inherent character of Magicos is on the analytical slightly dry side. The latest models are less so. The are somewhat similar to B&Ws in that regard but their frequency response is more accurate than the latter.

However some people love that kind of sonic signature - just as some people love Naim and Chord electronics.

@Emerging Soul - to answer your question, I don't think it has anything to do with science per se. Magicos are extremely well engineered speakers, but there are lots of other equally well engineered speakers that have a different sonic signature.

It is not the science, but what the designer does with it that determines the end result.
