| What speakers do you recommend? I'm considering B&W 804 D3 or Sonus Faber Olympica II I would think those speakers would sound very different. The 804D3 should have more depth in the bass as you would expect, though from what i’ve heard B&W haven’t been able to fully tame that bright sounding diamond tweeter, so if you were con... | |
| Raidho just announced new D .1 models mmporsche, I would hope Raidho would improve their rather cheap cabinets for the price of entry. Very nice sounding speakers though. If you’re going to CES, Magico are showing their new S1 Mk2 & S5 Mk2 which have many of the same improvements ... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. phusis184 posts12-29-2015 11:54pm melbguy1 -- @fliz, the new Magico S5 Mk2 speakers use 2 x 10" bass drivers which handle the low, mid & upper bass crossing over to the midrange at about 200Hz. The new 10" bass drivers have massive magnets wh... | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy fliz32 posts12-28-2015 3:24pmTo my ears, nothing approaches the realism of a really high efficiency speaker. The dynamics of something that’s 100db/1w/1m or better is unmatched by anything less efficient.Moving lots of air is key. Mid-bass is whe... | |

| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy Well I think the responses show the high efficiency camp will never agree with those who like dynamic sealed box designs, and vice versa. I don’t personally agree with some of the discriptions used for dynamic speakers in this thread, but that’s j... | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy @taters all good. | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy Taters, get real. You know as well as I do that labyrinth’s comments are at best ignorant, and at worst disingenuous and intended to white ant a manufacturer (Magico). Keith himself has stated several times in his TL thread he owns JBL L7 speakers... | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy xti161,193 posts12-28-2015 4:39am"Magico’s latest speakers very much reflect the sound of the connected gear. They can sound average through magical depending on the upstream gear and cables they’re paired with. Vitus, Pass XS series and Soulutio... | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy audiolabyrinth3,668 posts12-28-2015 5:34amI believe the Raidho Speaker’s are your best bet, that’s what I’m going to pursue, magico?, forget about them, they are cold sounding and unevolved! I listen to the q3 speaker’s all the time, their better ... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Cheers Sequence56. The S5Mk2's cabinet is a bit more optimized than the S7, whilst the S7's driver array gives it an edge in that area. They will both be terrific speakers given the right size room. | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy the_spaniard OP1 posts12-28-2015 2:03amthanks for your feedback guys!The Magico S7 looks awesome and on paper is something I would love. 3x10" bass drivers just wow! I´m just a bit worried that they would sound thin, but that might be the amplifi... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Sequence, I heard the Tad Evolution One speakers at the Melbourne Hifi Show and found the top end etched and bright. I can’t remember which amps they were partnered with, but I recall thinking the S5’s sounded a lot nicer with the caveat I have no... | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy Hi Jwm, not directly. I heard a full Ypsilon system at the Melbourne Hifi Show and really enjoyed the sound. But how much of that came down to the superb Continuum Caliburn tt I can’t say. And not having heard those amps in a familiar room with fa... | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy I think your experience with the S5’s could be partly blamed on the Class D amps you used (Devaliet). I’m not a fan of them. The best synergy i’ve found with Magico for my ears is with Vitus Signature series gear. Soulution 7 series also pairs ext... |
