Smodtactical,
You have two very different sounding loudspeakers with fans on both sides.
In terms of sheer technology and value for the dollar the Persona has a lot of advantages over the Magicos.
The Persona has two additional bass drivers, a two 700 watt bass amplifiers per channel, and a full Anthem bass correction system.
The room correction system allows you to get tight bass in any size room which allows the 9H to be used in rooms that you might consider too small for such a loudspeaker.
The Persona also uses the same materials for the midrange and tweeter in this case both pure Beryilium and then you have the lens technology which helps create a very holographic image.
Sonically the Personas have a transparency and a liveness in the treble and midrange which is just remarkable.
The Magicos are a great example of a extraordinary conventional loudspeaker with a very inert cabinet, a Beryillium tweeter and a graphene based midrange driver. Parts and build quality on the Magico are as good as it gets.
We have heard the Magicos for years at shows and at a few dealers they are much more netural than the Personas, at Axpona we heard many Magio setups with very expensive electronics and nearly every setup the speakers were not involving.
The big Magico M6 with dual subs and Dagastino gear has a huge sense of scale but failed to sound musical.
The only setup that we thought was actually quite good was the S3 with the new Classe gear, and this setup was musical with a nice sense of clarity and a good soundstage.
If you are ever in our neck of the woods we would love to demonstrate what a well setup set of 9H can sound like, our setup is the remarkable T+A electronics with a number of different dacs.
