Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2?

I was not amazed with the Magicos with excellent electronics at Overture.

I found used Revel Salon 2's. easy, smooth, full and great bass.  They would sing with your Gryphon amp.  Now I have also the Hailey 2.2's from YG and they are amazing.  You will see the Salon 2's occasionally for around 12k used and they hold all their value.  Bill at GTT is the YG man.

I think most speakers benefit from a couple of well placed subs.  In both my systems, (Revel Salon 2s) and (YG Haileys) adding two REL subs enhanced everything.  They do sound good without subs.  But once they are dialed in, you surely miss them if you turn them off.  It is like that, not boomy bass, just better music  I feel well worth it; with speakers costing 10 -50 k, adding a pair of even super nice REL Carbon Specials at 3500 each (yes use the baseline blue upgraded cables) is a value.  I did upgrade the subs PC's but not anywhere as expensive as the rest of my system).

So I feel don't expect and select a speaker entirely for its bass.  (Sure it has to go low to blend with a subwoofer).  Go for the musicality, imaging, tone  and all around sweetness.  And add subwoofers.  BTW I run both my systems with full signal to my main speakers.  With great amplification it is not an issue.  Then blend the subs in with phase, crossover and volume.  Good Luck!

Hi, It took me a long time to replace my Nautilus 802s.

I had a full suite of 5 channel surround in Nautilus with 802s, 805s and HTM-1.

I switched to 2 channel and upgraded all my electronics before trying new speakers.  I think the  venerable Nautilus was the sweet spot in the lineup.
