@ctsooner Magico’s as he’s lifted the treble to make them sound more open on top
Listen, you can like what you like, I am not about to get into a Magico dirt fight again, but some basic diligent of facts, not opinions, are needed.
It is actually the Vandersteen highs that are pronounced, not Magico (Plenty of measurements all over the place of current production models – you can start with Stereophile S5/Model 7). Vandersteen enclosures use of CF is minimal; they use a layer or 2 to basically veneered MDF. Vandersteen “CF” enclosures ring plenty; it is his pure MDF enclosures that are inert but, as the case with many “inert” cabinets, they are over-damped, again just look at measurements. Magico S5 THD measurements are the lowest ever measured at the NRC; rest assured, it will not be the case if they “ring”. Try listening with your ears, not your eyes, just because something is made out of metal, does not mean anything; does your car rings?
