waiting for US MSRP.
Looking for something to replace faithful Thiel CS1.6 to use with Moon 650D+Moon600i. Toga |
There is now a press release from Magico. Price is $12,600/pair.

Saw them at the CA Audio show....they're small...
I'd rather buy Dyn Confidence C1 Sigs and save 5 large. |

He probably saw Q1 at CA show. IMHO Q1 is much, much better speaker then any version of Dynaudio Confidence 1. At least for my ears...

I asked to have some "normal" music played and they suggested I come back Sunday morning and they would play some female vocals. I did, they did, still not an very involving speaker. In general I like aluminum speakers such as YG, Krell and thought I would like the Q5 and Q1. Not yet. Jim |
