Stereophile claims about Magico

DHaan-Would love to see that review. Will it be on line anywhere?

Have a look at http://www.stereoplay.de/. It seems like they do post, eventually, some of their reviews online.

I think the review was very positive, but subdued in the usual JA way (one problem with multiple reviewers in one mag).

look at the positives:

Magico's vibration measurements were so low he didn't bother to publish (got other speakers to review after all).

The bass quality and quality were outstanding (compare 20hz response to the 2x more expensive Wilson Maxx)

As for revolutionary, I think the number of true high end manufacturers building their own drivers can be counted on one hand. And I know of no other manufacturers designing crossovers in a virtual environment. And nobody I know of is pursuing cost no object designs with an open slate resulting in products like the Ultimate.

Honestly I haven't heard any Magico loudspeakers, so what I write is purely hypothetical.Besides the drivers ( lots of new drivers come into existence annually) , everything else is normal loudspeaker technology taken to the ultimate execution possible at a given price point, with good aethetics and domestically acceptable size. Hence I would use the term evolutionary.
What I find painful is that companies like Overkill Audio, which take an end to end approach with meticulous execution, get no press coverage from large mainstream audio magazines. I guess advertisments decide the sound quality. Hence whenever I recommend anything on this forum, it is never mainstream, and it usually comes from a manufacturer who makes a damn good product.

V3 is a great speaker however mini 2 has better cabinet better parts in crossover and overall a more natural sound it also has custom edison music posts v3 does not. These are 2 of the best speaker out there regardless of the stereophile aricle mini 2 got to stereo sound awards in Japan.
