Magico vs the world

Everywhere I look I only see people (end users and professional reviewers) raving about magico. Build quality, incredible sound, etc... everyone just loves them, especially the modern series, A3, M series, S series (mk2 variant). It is impressive for sure. But I am curious, what speakers have you heard that you compared to magico that you like as much or maybe even better?

Still haven’t heard a musically convincing Magico system in a decade. They are analytical, non-dynamic, and not particularly coherent. YG is a much better speaker in aluminum land.

I own Hailey 2.2s actually, nice snarky comment.

I've heard M, S, and Q all in dealer demos, auditions, and/or at shows. Numerous amps too (except Pass which a friend runs with apparent success). The best I've heard them was on was Gryphon. I was very interested in the brand at one time but just feel YG is superior for a sealed box, aluminum speaker and ended up purchasing a pair. More alive, better micro dynamics, magical hybrid tweeter, and Yoav's crossover is the secret sauce that brings about a musically superior experience. But YG doesn't have the Valin marketing muscle.
