Magico vs the world

@erik_squires,

For once, I agree with you completely on the sound of Magico vs other brands.  Seems like we heard exactly the same things.  I could not have said it better myself. +1.  I wish you would give GE another chance, it may change your mind about them. 

@ozzy62,

Just what are you talking about?

@needlebrush.,

Just what are you referring to, enlighten us?

@ozzy62,

for that matter you didn’t answer my question either.  Why not?  Afraid?  I am waiting to be enlightened. 

I was being very kind. You need to quit drinking the Kool Aid, it’s embarrassing. 

Of course he was being sarcastic, but who really cares?  Imagine, he doesn't like the way my speakers are set up?  I guess I should have consulted the great Oz first.  He believes I sit in the easy chair on the side but actually I sit on the couch directly across from the speakers.  Next time I am going to drop 8K+ on speakers, I will be sure to consult him as he, like millercarbon, knows everything and us lesser people do not.  They both drink from the same Kool Aid cup, and worship the orange guy.

J. Chip,

I agree that placement isn't that critical with the Triton series, but I spent days moving my speakers  to get the best imaging I could.  I am using Triton Ones in my other system and have been thinking of getting the One R for that system.   If our current nightmare ever ends, I will audition the Triton One R speakers. b I am glad you like them, I have heard many good things on the GE forum about them.

J.Chip,

Your description has piqued my interest immensely.  Once the restrictions are relaxed, I will contact the local dealer where I bought my  last 3 pairs of GE speakers.  I have been dealing with them for years.  My wife was in the owners class in Catholic High School.  I am sure he will be doing "by appointment only" within the next couple of months.  Enjoy your speakers, I love mine.

@kingbarbuda,

You have quite an impressive line up of equipment.  The systems must sound wonderful.

Dznutz,

if you do not like Magico, why did you buy 3 different pairs?  Are you a mashocist or something?  I would have quit after the first pair.  Money to burn?  I am really interested in knowing why. 

@dznutz ,

I do not own Magico, never cared for the sound, same goes for Focal. I own GE Triton Reference speakers which are perfect for me in every respect but others may not like them.

I don't like the bass impact from the YG Brand of speakers.  The bass is there, don't get me wrong, but it sounds underwhelming.  I heard the big Magico's at RMAF in 2017.  It was either their most expensive or one of their most expensive and they did sound amazing.  However, I did think the highs were a tiny bit dry.
