Magico speakers just don't do it for me. Yes they are fast, and so are YG speakers that don't do it for me either. Music is not just fast, but has weight, air, structure etc. You have not mentioned your audition of one of MY favorite speakers...Vandersteen...either the 5A or the 7's. These are the most complete speakers that can be adjusted for the room, so that they always work at their best.
Magico V3
I have been considering a speaker upgrade from my current Thiel 3.7s to units in the 10-15k price bracket in the used market. I have auditioned Wilson Sophia 3 and Sasha and Revel Studio2. The studio 2s were to me a sideways move in that the bass was very good but the transparency was no better than what I have; the Wilsons are both very good with superior bass dynamics and extension compared to the Thiels although the Sashas are a few grand out of my price range. Things I have available to audition in my area are Avalon Eidolon Vision and Sonus Elipsa. However, my interest is really peaked in the V3 because I have heard the Mini-2 and the Q3 and liked them a lot; in fact, I think the Q3 is the best I have ever heard, and to my ears preferable to the Wilson Maxx 3 which I also listened to recently. The V3s are available now since they are being traded for the Q3s.
I listen to a lot of orchestral music and acoustic music, mostly on SACD.
I cannot find a pair of V3's to audition in my area. If you have heard the V3s or own them, I am wondering if you think they would provide that wonderful Magico sound I have heard but at a price I can afford.
Thanks in advance for your help.
