I have the q7 and they have a binding post for the high and one for the low to bi amp or biwire.i put the hegel 30 a in mono and it must have been too low of ohms and put it into loop mode.the mcintosh work great due to hybride it works fine sounds great. It takes alot of time to breat in speakers,caps ect.put them on 5 watts and play them for a week.give them a break for an hour to let the motor on the speaker to go through heat cycles. Use large gauge cabel at least 10 for speaker wire.you can always call magico and ask them what they suggest for breakin.i have installed many beryllium tweeters and they sound strange in the beginning. Good luck be patient.enjoy the s3arch.
New Magico Speaker Break-in Question
This afternoon, I received my new Magico A5s, which replaced Revel Studios that I have owned for more than 20 years. The A5s are definitely more clear, have superior imaging and provide at least equal soundstaging. The bass is tighter, but, with three 9" woofers, I am surprised that it doesn't go very deep at all (fortunately, I have two SVS SB17-Ultra subwoofers that will easily take care of that shortcoming).
However, there is one aspect of these A5's performance that I find a bit disquieting and the reason for this post. The treble in the 2KHz to 5KHz seems to be a little [what I'll call] shrieking; it is somewhat uncomfortable to listen to for an extended time. I know that this loudspeaker uses a beryllium tweeter, and I have never had a speaker before that employed one. Perhaps, its tonality is what I am reacting to .
And so, my question. I have read that it takes 250+ hours for the A5s to break-in and become the speaker that Mr. Wolf and his colleagues intended. As part of that break-in, will the tweeter also blossom and become easier to listen to?
