No worries
I live with B&W N800s for almost 11 years, its tweeter is a dangerous animal, ruthlessly revealing and sometimes a bit too sharp. While listening at the sweet spot, moving to front and back by inches makes remarkable differences at tonal balance. Anyway, time has come for the speaker upgrade |

In his case, it's a sealed box (Magico), and a very neutral one at that. So, it has been my experience that positioning a Q3 is not hard, and can be a one-man job. Now, he'll need help to get them out of the crates and into his room. There IS a setup manual for the Q3. If you google "Magico Q3 Manual", you'll see a link to download it. It describes the steps to get them out of their box, and directions to start with room placement. alexandre |

OK. I am not sure that I agree with you approach here. How long can you hold critical listening concentration in dealers showroom? In my personal case it is no more then 1h. Btw, I got S5 after very extended in-home audition. |

I finally heard Q3 and S5 at a dealers. Very cooperative friendly dealer as I started by saying i was visiting. I was also the only customer at the time so maybe it was not an issue. For me the Q3 were the pick. Love the way that they got out of the way. Said to the dealer that they reminded me of the last time a heard a small ensemble in a studio. S7 were good but not as convincing.
Now i need to hear Giya G2. Only heard the G3. |
