LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
I liked the MKiI - my likes just kind of evolved. I just like a more raw monitor type sound better. The Focal is brighter and not as sophisticated. Overall the Magico was a better speaker no doubt it’s just I like the brighter / quicker / more pre...
