| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) What's most important really is not what theorists, or romanticists say, but what you hear. Ultimately, your own empirical evidence is the main reason to spend any money at all in this hobby. I can argue that most measurements are stuck in the 19... | |
| What is trully important? Was just reading an article by Floyd Toole here:https://www.audioholics.com/room-acoustics/room-reflections-human-adaptationHe points out that a recording studio, control room and living room are very different animals. but ultimately, you are buy... | |
| tweeter replacement Magico S5 No!!Beryllium is poisonous, especially when inhaled. Make sure you dispose of the original per instructions. | |
| tweeter replacement Magico S5 Thank you Erik for the info.. Anyone out there who can confirm that the Magico S5 tweeter is the Scanspeak Illuminator D3004/6640-00. The fastner holes seem identical but the Scanspeak has a grill over the dome. So to clarify, Magico has always ... | |

| Damaged berillium tweeters (Focal 1007Be) Sorry Kamilo, I truly have no idea. I tried looking before and all I found was Focal car parts. I'd contact the US distributor, which I believe is Audio Plus:https://www.focalnaimamerica.com/Best,E | |
| tweeter replacement Magico S5 These are NOT the same tweeters, and Magico tells you, if you care to listen, how it is different (different surround, coating, etc.). Magico says a lot of things. Also, I’ve reported your post for being abusive. I’m not anonymous, so your claim i... | |
| tweeter replacement Magico S5 Yeah, I’m not saying you should go with the off the shelf tweeter. However, if you think $800 is reasonable, you should probably have a pro do the work too. If you think it’s outrageous in cost, you should look for alternatives. My advice was for ... | |
| tweeter replacement Magico S5 Depending on how much you want to save, the Magico tweeter is probably this one: Scanspeak Illuminator D3004/6640-00You should remove it first to ensure the back looks correct. Magico allegedly has it covered with graphene, but I have no idea if ... | |
| Damaged berillium tweeters (Focal 1007Be) Sorry, I posted a tweet about Be tweeters to the wrong thread, so I deleted it. | |
| tweeter replacement Magico S5 $800 ??? Wow that's a steep upcharge for a repair part. | |
| I went to THE show and didn't make any friends ... You make a good point, @bradleygordonI haven't seen any of the budget rooms covered. Stereophile in particular seems to have kept the entry point to being mentioned high. Best,E | |
| tweeter replacement Magico S5 Hi Guyt,From my tour of the Magico factory, they use press on connectors. Shouldn't be any soldering necessary. Only 1 true way to find out. :) Out of curiosity, will they send you a replacement dome, or are they going to make you pay for the whol... | |
| tweeter replacement Magico S5 Hey Guyt, I'm not familiar with the S5, but I am with the tweeter. Looking at online pics it looks fairly straightforward. There are six screws at the perimeter you must remove, and the tweet should come right out. However, are you sure that's yo... | |
| Damaged berillium tweeters (Focal 1007Be) There is no other source for them, I'm afraid, but Focal.You could look around on ebay for them. |
