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?

I've heard big Magicos absolutely sing at the end of Constellation and Soullution Monos. It was like an undernourished boxer when driven by Dartzeel monos. I think too many on this forum, and indeed reviewers have a 100 point/5 star system of the best at x, y, and z. I'm not so sure as time goes by. I've heard all sorts of systems delivering the goods. If you asked me the best playback i ever heard was a £500,000 fm acoustics system which really sounded like live music using FM amps, and speakers. When i speak to people who are pretty dyed in the wool audiophiles, almost all of them enthuse about rooms with built in horns and valve amps.

I heard the FM at a show called 'the indulgence show' in London. FM are a very rare and exotic bird in the UK and I jumped at the chance. They played it with a band as comparison. Incredible.

What amp do you use with the Magico. On some DArtzeels they sound a bit flat and meh - but when i've heard them with Soullution or Constellations they have sounded superb.

Vivids - excellent speakers...
