| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Thanks for your f'back Roxy, however this occurred several years ago & therefore would not be appropriate for that forum, but I take your point. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Definitely the pair of Infinity Renaissance 90's I bought from A'gon member Lschwartz. He described them as being in excellent condition, so after some discussion I went ahead and had them crated and shipped to Australia. On arrival I found 'texto... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Correction: I meant to say "euphonic" not euphoric sounding gear above, but no edit posts option in this thread. | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Charles, your comment above is likely true I suspect, though I usually find those who dislike the Magico S5's tend to like euphoric sounding gear, and a degree of coloration. They also tent to be those who either a/ can't afford the level of syste... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Charles, I respectfully disagree with you. Step into a Subaru, it's just a Subaru. Step into a Porsche and the level of quality, engineering and ultimate performance are just so far ahead it's not funny. And i've driven both. If you look at the le... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Bill, I see some people never change. Enjoy those backyard speakers & DIY gear. Yeah I have a chip..it's in my pack of Smiths crisps. Now, time to enjoy some glorious music & stop wasting my time with your dross! | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Bill, to be fair I haven't heard your speakers & so I don't know why you have such big wraps on them, so i'll make you a deal. I'll make a time to drop over & hear them with some familiar music (easy to do if you live in Victoria, otherwis... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Bill, equally go back and re-read my comments. I agreed with some of what you said. I further acknowledge you have a lot of experience in audio & enjoy many of your contributions, but when your posts inevitably return to how Lenehan speakers a... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Bill, I agree with your view measurements should only be used as a guide & not determinate of what sounds good to your ears, and so conversely disagree with how Usermanual framed up his above comment. As you said listening is the ultimate lipm... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Good to see you on the forum Bill. Even though we differ in our preference in this instance, I know where you're coming from & respect your viewpoint. Putting the above aside for a moment, the S5's are the most transparent and resolving of spe... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE 07-31-14: Apdoc2004Usermanual and Melbguy,I do not know what Mike (Mbovaird) did/said to light up a fuse under your collective a...s.This is a case of judging comments on face value vs a wide experiential viewpoint & genuine vs disingenuous. A... | |

| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Interesting Charles that you claim "I'm just as entitled to a viewpoint as you" then proceed to attempt to discredit me by rubbishing my comments. It sais a lot that other participants in this thread support your comments. | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Al, In a nutshell I'm suggesting Mbovaird's recent comments about his ill-fated S5's are disingenuous based on his long history of flipping gear to promote his own interests, and that Charles blind defense of his comments is at best uninformed. In... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Charles, no sensitivity regarding Magico, but I for one get frustrated by members like you who act like self-appointed Defense Barristers without taking the time to know the facts. That would take a lot of time and objectivity, two commodities you... |
