I have heard the Magicos with a £30k Krell preamp. Seemed fine, but as someone on here has written - not too involving. I put my own research company, TrueFidelity £8k, preamp in and it blew the socks off the Krell. Looked inside the Krell, and the big box was crammed with unnecessary and interfering rubbish.
So again - as is written above - it depends what you want to drive your Magicos with. Overall I considered it to be a very competent speaker, but expected much more for the price
If someone said they would swap the Magicos for my B&W 800d3s I would need a serious dosh of money coming my way! And then I would swap them out ....... But Magico owners still like them, so as usual it is personal listening preferences and budgets
