| Magico compared to Tannoy No one has mentioned the cost of Magicos, which are stratospheric. A non-starting discussion for me. The Tannoys are similar to my Altec 604Cs. They get me there. | |

| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? There’s about 65-85 LPs in a linear foot. Depends on the thickness of the vinyl and the sleeves. So, the someone with 5 linear ft has about 375 LPs. When I moved, there were 88 boxes 13 x 13 x 13. That was about 75 LPs per box (excl boxes for the ... | |
