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?

Most of Marylin and Revel speakers for me that way.

I am just using the stock McIntosh  tubes in my MC2301 amps and they should have a lot of life left.

They sound fine to me and I believe they may be greatly improved upon but I’m on thin ice for spending what I have on everything already. 🥴

No tube swapping for right now with (16) power tubes to buy.

The Magico are not able to be BiAmped and the Tannoy can be BiAmped.

I found it a huge improvement on the Tannoy to get  rid of the speaker jumper cable and feeding upper end with tubes and bottom end with SS.

Found the jumper wire was a huge detractor of capability.

"I think Magicos are great outdoor speakers because they don't warp or rust."

LOL!

A few days ago I took the opportunity to listen to a dSC > Burmester (hybrid) > Magico S system, and it was exceptionally good.  Musical, and not fatiguing - among the very best digital SQ I have ever heard.  I tend to listen to vinyl, and this system sounded that good...

So I agree with the earlier comments stating that the Magico speakers are accurate and extremely revealing (compare to many other brands of speakers), so your font-end needs to be up to the task. 

You will hear it all, the good and the bad.  Isn't that what generations of audiophiles have been asking for from manufacturers?
