I have listened to numerous Magicos from the year the company reached these shores to the current line from A to Q. I admire the build quality which is extraordinary. But I have not heard one model that sounded like I was in the presence of live music. I frankly don't understand the fuss.
OTOH, I own Wilsons and many Magico fans (as well as others) say the same thing about Wilsons.
When we purchase high end speakers, we make a highly personal decision to buy into the aural sensibility of the person or team that develops the brand. Wolf? Wilson? Vandersteen? Dudleston? Walker? Sanders? Winey? Jones? None are "wrong".
To quote Bo, it boils down to "Who do you love?"
