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

Dear @audiokinesis  : Yes Snell came with rear tweeters and as a fact I paste/copy from Snell and in m my ADS L2030 I mounted a rear firing 1" silk dome with same efficiency and FR than the fabolous ADS tweeters in the speakers front firing.

Yes, you enhance the recording space.

@erik_squires   : "  just want to know if others have noticed distint differences we could attribute to baffle width "

 

No one could do that with different kind of speakers. The only way is two similar speakers ( same everything. ) with difference only if wide or narrow.

 

Sense to you?

Your " curiosity " have several problems/obstacles for even Magico owners due that:

- each owner has his personal targets /preferences

- space and imagin mainly depends of each room/system and how well the speaker overall response is integrated to that room : this is the room acoustic  treatment.

- Magico M5 design was way different to its today M7 ( more or less similar 4-way and 5 drivers as the M5. ) starting with its new technically optimized drivers as its new crossover design and crossover parts.

I think , but I can be wrong,  that we can't mix " apples " with " bananas " or " oranges ".

 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
