| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Sciencecop - I know all about the critics who are enamored with Magicos. You didn't have to waste your time proving it to me. However, why is it every time there is a new speaker, it's so superior to the last? That's what I don't like about mos... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Kevin Gray uses them and Andreas Meyer uses big B&Ws at Sony studios where he has done fantastic work. I think Harbeths are constricted at the frequency extremes so I don’t want them. Von Schweikert speakers colored, yeah, right. The number on... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat My wife and I notice more vibrant colors, maybe more 3-D like depth and sharpness on our TVs. We tried an E-mat on top of our cablebox which sits on mini-ultra stillpoints and is plugged into an SR red duplex. The results were that we couldn't s... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... For those who enjoy their Magico speakers, wonderful. My unfortunate acquaintance with many of their speakers has soured me on the brand as well as my friends. | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... ebm-Kevin Gray, Steve Hoffman, Robert Pincus-all agree. Kevin prefers Harbeths. They are more expert than you. There wouldn’t be any great reissued LPs or CDs without them. I am not an audio expert, but after hearing Magicos at four shows and two ... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I never heard the A3 so I withold comment on it. There are many deaf or deluded audiophiles who listen to sound and not music. My recent acquaintance who has a $850,000 audio system sounded awful (disjointed frequencies, blaring highs, muddled mid... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I said I would rather own Harbeths than Magicos. They aren't for me either. I currently own Legacy Focus and Signature IIIs (2 systems). I am thinking of replacing the Focus with either Von Schweikert VR55 Active or Luminwhite Kyara. At least ... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Jhills, I think you are correct. VAC phi and iq 200 amps were designed to control low impedance speakers including Kingsound electrostats and can drive Magnapans. Driving a 3 ohm speaker should be a breeze. The mentioned VAC amps are a great choic... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat tommylion, After one week, I haven't experienced any treble or bass anomalies, just mid-range for the first 24 hours. The treble and bass improved immediately. It proves every system is different. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I'm sorry I can't tell you what one or two E-mats will do to your system because I've only tried six at a time and 12 at Frank's home. However, 6 are superior to adding an Atmosphere XL4. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Hi, the E-Mats do not change the acoustics of the room; however, I just don't feel that the Atmosphere is improving the sound of most recordings now. The increased clarity, image precision and frequency extension by the E-Mats negates the effects... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat sbayne I am not using any signal enhancing devices that are electronic unless they are built into my power distribution boxes (part of the wiring, not additional products). I tried a few and determined that I didn’t need them or they had negative ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I would need more E-mats to try under my SR Atmosphere XL4. I might try it on top also since I dislike the Red ATM (too bright) and removed it from the room. I only use the Atmosphere for some recordings. With the E-mat and my latest IC cables,... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I advise putting one mat on the breaker box panel. It affected all audio systems in my home (two main audio systems and two video/audio systems). I’d like to know what difference others find on their TV video screens. Colors appear more saturated.... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 Much of my equipment is custom built using NOS tubes, NOS capacitors, silver solder, NOS transformers (Altec/Peerless 1568s), NOS subminiature tubes. etc. It is difficult to duplicate the quality and sound of many of my gear's components in my ma... |
