Magico - Wide vs. Narrow

Hi Everyone,

I'm not looking to buy, but I am a big fan of wide baffle speakers.  I realized recently that Magico had a history of making wide baffle speakers (like the M5) which they seem to have gone away from in the current generations. 

I'm curious if any fans have had a chance to hear both and if they have a preference, or impression especially in regards to being able to hear the recording space and imaging.

Thanks!

Erik

Well I just looked at the M Series on their site and these are certainly not traditional wide baffle speakers. To my eyes it looks like a superb cabinet design that is not wife baffle.

In my experience most wide baffle speakers do have somewhat of a distinct sound. This may also be due to the fact that many wide baffle manufacturers also subscribe to old fashioned design ideas like lossy cabinets, flat baffle fronts, etc.

But do we really want an increase in our sense of space? Is this illusion correct or an aberration?

I am trying to integrate my newly rebuilt Quad 63s in my room and am having a tough go of it. Alot of sacrifices that go along with the magic.
