| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s Ck your physics again. Size has nothing to do with how low can you go. | |
| Opinions on Magico V3's? I have the V3 for some time now. No issues whatsoever. I use Spectral electronics but I have heard them driven by tubes gear like ARC, VAC and even Nagra. They seems to bring the best in all setups I have heard. They can benefit from good power bu... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico Do not know when and how you compared the two speakers. As usual, we rush to form an opinion. I would have to disagree with your conclusion. And I should know, I have them both (My original Mini was finally upgraded about 2 months ago). In the sam... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico I think we went about it already. Yes, the Mini has its pluses but, for my money, the V3 covers more ground and has the best bass money can buy. They are also more efficient, and IMO, more transparent. There is a lot to say for a dedicated pure mi... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico DHaan-Would love to see that review. Will it be on line anywhere? | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 I was never quite sure what exactly Mr. Jkalman has against the Magicos. This animosity has been dragged for some time now. Was entertaining for a while but somewhat pointless and old by now. This thread is about the Revel vs. W/P. It is unfortuna... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico Shadorne - A bit more then just the finish I am afraid. I had 2 pairs | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico Sirspeedy - TAD is actually a great example how a similar design losses its magic once cabinet material is changed. The M1, which was constructed like the Mini, was a fabulous speaker. Unfortunately Pioneer, could not control the cracking on thes... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Lets see, A speaker that is -/+ 3 db flat anechoic from 40 Hz to 40K. A bass response in room down to 20 Hz with 88 db efficiency in sealed box!! No resonant box modes to be found. A 4 ohm nominal around the entire power region and a superbly cle... | |
| most accurate loudspeakers.... Shadorne - Thoughtful reply. Thanks. I think that it is difficult to keep IMD down with any soft dome. You are practically operating in a non-pistonic way. Not ideal for moving air. Yes the dispersion of a dome mid is very nice but it takes mo... | |
| most accurate loudspeakers.... Gregm- I have my doubts. The only independent measurements I have ever seen of an ATC speaker were not very impressive. On the contrary. The distortion levels of their dome midrange was completely unacceptable (Stereo Sound issue 155).I must say, ... | |
| most accurate loudspeakers.... Well loud yes but at what distortion level? A car horn can produce a 120db tones anytime. That is why you do not use PA speakers in your home. There is a big difference between the need to simply amplified and the need to accurately amplified. And... | |
| most accurate loudspeakers.... Perhaps, but it was mainly the fact that they can play loud and not break. You know, like typical PA speakers. | |
| most accurate loudspeakers.... ATC and/or PMC are anything but flat and accurate. One more myth that some clever marketing guys had manage to sell the public. If you look at the history of ATC you realize why it is popular in studios. It has nothing to do with the way they sound. | |
| Magico 3 I do not think that the built quality is any different. It is less elaborate, but just as exquisite as the Mini. I do agree, the Mini is more of a statement then the V3. You do give up on the fine and truly unique design of the Mini but the fullne... |
