| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II You have the Q’s and M’s. That’s some serious speakerage there. Nothing ever in the world is build better then a Q series Magico. Never before it or after it. Tenth degree and then some. Build like a tank doesn’t do them justice. Tanks wish they w... | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II My self I like the S MKII’s better then the Q’s and the M’s are insane. All the criticism the S and Q’s had vaporized into thin air with the M3 and up. Magico has evolved immensely with the M’s. Way out of my league. | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II Not mine - those are not mine. I wish. I just heard them at a guys house that I bought a VAC integrated from. I own the lowly Focal Sopra 2’s. I happen to love them and sold my Magico S5 MKII’s because I like them better but still I’m not claiming... | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II The other day I listened to a pair of Alexia 2’s with D’agastino monos with a VAC master preamp and that was some nice slam! Those thing can bring it! Legit bring it! | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II I don’t know about better bass? Magico is not a bass centric speaker. YG’s have some pretty good slam. I’m not sure about Dynamics or highs either. Now it’s matter what speaker your talking. If your taking S, Q or M series. The S and Q are Very di... | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II Sure - makes sense. I am not nearly as familiar with YG. They seems pretty awesome though. | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II That Focal tweeter is bright and raw. It throws haymakers. I love it. Although, I did not love it with my Soulution 530 or my Pass Labs 160.8’s. It just needs a bit of a chill pill. That chill pill came in the form of a Ypsilon Phaethon with it’s ... | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II I said the exact opposite of that??? | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II When I started with thread I owned Magico S5 MKII speakers and loved them. I knew they were fantastic speakers but for me and my evolving my taste I wanted to consider other options. Only after owning multiple pairs of Magico’s over a few years ha... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 mheinze - you think no one on here has heard the A5? How does that work? Like its some, exclusive, member only speaker? They are in almost every Magico dealers showroom on the planet. It’s their red hot, entry level series speaker. Its a gateway d... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 Those speakers are no better then yours. They will just be a little different is all.Sure, maybe one blends with your room or DAC a bit better here or there but maybe not also. Very little real world consequence to be had with that list of speaker... | |
| Music streamers ddafoe- thank you - I have not tried that but now I will. My goal was just trying scrubbing that Ethernet signal as clean as I can scrub it but if you think it’s cleaner with regen last I’ll certainly try that. Thank you | |
| The problem with Magicos The OP is obviously onto something here for sure and you all know it. Everyone knows Magico can do better a better job and this could really help! Some well placed holes for all that noise and distortion to escape. That’s makes good sense to me!Yo... | |
| Music streamers Sound Quality and simplicity go with:Small Green Computer SonicTransporter You can build a system around it. No DAC included but you don’t want one in your server / media provider. This way you can improve bit by bit as you learn and your system g... | |
| HELP advise PLEASE - Focal Sopra 2 Speakers - I want a tube amp but " Min 2.6ohm @ 104Hz " Thank you for the excellent responses. I downsized my system cost wise (Magico S5 MKII to Focal Sopra 2) and Soulution amp to now wanting tubes in the chain. I should have provided a price range which is around $6k. I am buying used for the reason... |
