Andy, once again you have your finger on the pulse. Magico bass is quite fast & articulate, as is most sealed enclosure type speakers, hence the nature of the design characteristics. Since hearing & experiencing the Wilson Benesch
Torus Infrasonic Generators, I now have 2 coming within the next fortnight. These are way faster/more articulate than most subs I've heard, admittedly I haven't heard all of them but they are rated as some of the most accurate & fastest!

Alexia and G1 were listed as Class A full range without limitation in low frequency. However, I have an open mind and agree that Magico's drivers appear to be of better quality. I guess I'll find out this weekend. Thanks for your opinion. I still think Wilson makes a good overall product.

Another very plausible question would be what colour he was feeling on the day. Trust your ears, not theirs!
