I personally think Magico and Dynaudio appeal to two different listeners and I told him I wanted speakers that could rock to replace my Salon1's. From my brief audition I can say the c60 sounds better than my salon1's, however I never heard my S1's driven by Dan D'Agostino master gear before.

The Contour 60 is a whole lotta speaker for $10k. I love my 30s and may very well move into a pair of 60s in the coming year and move the 30s to rear duty. I’m sure the new $10k Magico is nice but I would go with the C60 personally. I’m sure the dealer margin is larger on the Magico vs the Dynaudio. That’s the real reason he is less enthusiastic!
