Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
As an A1 owner, I can understand why people have this opinion but what others said are correct.  At first, I thought they were hard to listen to.  But the two things that fixed everything were amplifier and setup.  I changed to a Pass amp and then... 
IsoAcoustics GAIA
