I recently listened to the Q3s for an extended period at a dealer's showroom, and, while I was there, to the Q1s briefly. I agree with Valin's comments about the TAD CR-1 being a little brighter than the Q1, but I also think it gives a more robust presentation of music.

All three of these speakers are excellent, and if you've only heard them at shows (as I had previously), you have not heard them at their best. If you're looking for a neutral speaker that will reflect exactly what is being presented up the chain, I'm not sure you can do better than either of the Magico speakers, unless you go further up the Magico chain.

This doesn't take anything away from other excellent manufacturers such as Vivid, Sonus Faber, Dynaudio, Focal, YG, etc. You may not like the Magico sound, but if you come to a conclusion based solely on what you've heard at shows, I think you're making a mistake. And I believe that's probably true for most audio products.
