| Magicos are chesty Don't know about any of that... They were marvelous in a small room, very close to the back wall, with the smallest Spectral. I was also told that they sound magic with the Octave V110 integrated (110 W), albeit very different sound from the ... | |
| Magicos are chesty I guess my point is that the S1, being small footprint speakers, you'd kind of expect to want to use them in a small space, with something like a 60W tube or class-A integrated. Essentially what we might call an intimate system.IMHO, this wouldn't... | |
| Magicos are chesty I think their efficiency is around 83 dB, no? Because they have a very wide dispersion. To make them sound their best they need just as much room as much larger speakers. | |
| Magicos are chesty @mheinzeHonestly, there was a lot I liked more about the S1 than the S3.The S1, except for the congestion noted in my original post, has a glass smooth midrange to treble, and truly impressive dynamic range along with a very wide listening angle. ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Please explain how the noise of the switching of a full wave rectifier in a power supply can pass back through the primary winding of the power transformer and through the power cord and end up on the AC mains. Hi @jea48 ,I'm not making the cla... | |
| Magicos are chesty @shadorne I just realized I misread this: My guess is you are hearing the sound of the polypropylene plastic bucket that houses the midrange. My apologies, I thought you meant the driver basket. I had forgotten all about the bucket! Yes, but as @s... | |
| Magicos are chesty Hey @sciencecop LOL, I suggest you call up Magico and offer your help... Oh no, I am 100% sure they are choosing their tonal balance carefully. If I hacked it would be to see if I could make the S line sound like the M line. :) To suggest that M... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound The electrons in a power cable are like a train with each electron acting as a train car. When a treble note is played, for example, the small gauge wires can react quickly because that “train” has much less mass than a large gauge conductor. So, ... | |
| Suddenly HMMMMM I don't remember my sub humming before Well, as you play more music, the sub gets smarter and starts to remember the songs it likes. Ahahahaha. Sorry. but with subamp connected off...a lower amount, but switched on a louder one. What does that ... | |
| Magicos are chesty More specifically you should say Magico S series speakers are chesty @folkfreak I defer to your experience. It's true, I've only really heard the S series, but your progression and description sounds like a well planned product development strateg... | |
| Magicos are chesty @shadorne My guess is you are hearing the sound of the polypropylene plastic bucket that houses the midrange. Well, it certainly IS in that range. Are you guessing about the Magico's midrange construction or is that known? Best,E | |
| Mixing balanced and unbalanced inputs/outputs on Ayre preamp - amateur question! Whether a particular input is better than another is equipment dependent. But yes, you can mix/match input types and output types. Usually people like to use balanced for their most important DAC, and then run RCAs for everything else.For instance... | |
| Watts, and clarity. Some guy. Are you kidding? Bob Carver is a genius and do you think he would actually make that crap up? I'm saying that a video from the 1980's about Bob Carver saying he heard about some dude is a ridiculous way to buy an amp. E | |
| Magicos are chesty the shift from V to Q to M was all about reducing any colorations frankly such that at first blush the M sounds bland and lacking at the frequency extremes. Well that sure does sound like they have their audience figured out! | |
| Magicos are chesty I also think that if you're drunk it's better to criticize Magico owners than most other brands. Tekton owners would pop a cap in your ass. Well, I would never criticize anyone for owning what they like to listen to. :) And for some with the... |
