| Magico Comparison Finally, a reasonable post, thank you Larry.Yes, there are handful of other brands that do offer better performance than the average high-end product, but they are few and far between (Vivid is indeed one of them). However, since you mentioned Too... | |
| Magico Comparison Sorry Charles, it is the 21st century, and the world is no longer flat. Building loudspeakers is a science. Science is about facts, not opinions. If it is better, it is simply better, not just different. Now if you don't like better, that's a whol... | |
| Magico Comparison Compering the above mentioned brands to Magico is like comparing 80s American cars to current German ones.The comments you often see on hi-fi forum toward Magico reflects the sad state of the high-end industry today. Here you have a truly innovat... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Mr Tinn, I actually own a MicroOne, and also the Q3. I like the Micro, and for the money, in my office, they are hard to beat, but not without issues (fatiguing tweeter...). They are not in the same league as the Magico Q or S series, and for the ... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Thank you for the link, Kiwi. I read the review completely different then you. Especially the part that says: "In-room bass goes down to 30Hz... which is impressive for a speaker of this size". Overall a great review of the Q1. The C1/D1 are great... | |
| Tube Preamp suggestion for the uninitiated I would look at a used CAT. It was my first Hi-End preamp and is still hard to beat. A cheaper alternative, if you can find one is the Audible Illusions Modulus 3a. | |
| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? Anything over 3 meters, but I would still keep the interconnects as short as possible | |
| Magico Mini II vs V2 with Pass amps I do not think you should judge what any of the Magico's can do with low power amps. Especially the Pass, which IMO, are simply less then ideal match with these speakers. | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Any of the Evolutions from Krell should do the job. | |
| New Emm Labs TSD-1/Dac-2 vs DCS Puccini Just heard the XDS1. It seems to be working much better than previous models. | |
| anyone heard the new Massive Attack yet? Seen them in concert couple of months ago in London. UNBELIVEBEL!! | |
| Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ? Soulution | |
| Wilson Sasha , Avalon Indra or Magico V3? "The Wilson would be the only true full range speaker out of this group"Based on measurements, the V3 extend lower than the Sasha (Or the Avalon). What the V3 do not have is extra 8db of output in the midbass, that some may like and confuse with l... | |
| Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? I second that. Beautiful sound, and great look. Best Focal I have heard | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? Paulsa,Many times, what appears to be a "clarity of vocals or instrumentals like guitar" is simply elevated upper midrange lower trebles cause by poor XO work and driver integration. Many loudspeakers guys out there have made a good living doing j... |
