Magico - a new Mini?
Lets stay on topic. As for Mover your first post was a plug.... get real. 
Magico - a new Mini?
l like the looks of the Mini II MUCH better. Hopfully the Q1 is a lot cheaper. 
Magico - a new Mini?
Rhohense,The speakers we are discussing are pictured in the link below.Q1 Picture 
Thiel 3.6 to Eggleston Andras II
I am glad the move was good for you. Please give us an update after a few months. Can you compare the highs for me. How is the balance compared to the thiel's? You say they are smoother but how is the tonal balance? 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Any specs, drive size, frequency range, etc? 
Magnepan 3.7
"That's interesting and a bit surprising! I think everyone was expecting the 3.7's to use foil in the woofer."Yes it is, I thought they would be a full foil/"ribbon" design. I would still like to see an official overview. Magnepan's comments don't...

There appears to be a new aluminum monitor from Magico called the Q1Follow the link below and about 1/2 way down the page you will see a picture. Q1 
Magnepan 3.7
Josh358,I think you and I are on the same page. I guess I am more disappointed with the build quality than anything because I would like to own a pair. I would buy the 1.7 because they are only a few grand but once it clears five or more I really ... 
Magnepan 3.7
Josh358 is correct. The difference is they have glued on a foil instead of gluing on a thin wire/coil. It should make the "driver" lighter and faster. It should also give the radiating area a more consistent (pistonic) movement. All of this shoud ... 
Magnepan 3.7
I am not in the market for a pannel speaker.... I just like reading the news. I have heard the entire magnepan line at length. I like them but could never get over the iffy build quality. Hopfully the "ribbon" helps reduce delaminating issues (mor... 
Thiel 3.6 to Eggleston Andras II
You will miss the Thiels if you move to the Andra II. I would look for speakers that are more inline with the Thiel house sound that add more bass volume/slam/punch etc. I listen to mostly rock and own Thiel CS2.4. I have being looking for the sam... 
Loudspeakers - how best to prolong their lifetime?
As a past R&D Engineer in the polymer field I can tell you sun light, moisture, and heat will shorten the lifespan greatly. Keep them in a dry, dark and cool (not cold) place. 
Does the wilson sophia 1 sound good only with perf
For all of you that want to give Pkoh70 a hard time... He speaks the truth. I have auditioned the Sophia 2 and 3 (same system/ room as thiel 3.7). The 3 is a lot better but still behind the thiel 3.7s. I have not heard all the speakers Pkoh70 list... 
New Magico Speaker the Q3
34k would be less than I was expecting. Magico is a pretty interesting brand at the moment with aggressive product development. I think it will only help them as a company but could hurt them too. How long was the V3 out before the Q3 came out?

Ebm, Odd comment, I thought you like magico speakers pretty well?
