Magico Q7: "most impressive product in 23 years of TAS reviews"
Cannot agree more on TAS review!! In particular on the chameleon nature of this speaker. You really need to listen to it with different sources to understand what an achievement the Q7 is.

It may be the cat's whiskers , but stating that the lamm 2.2 drove it well is hard to believe. I have posted in the Lamm forum on how on how un- involving a pairing the Q7 and the ML3 proved, and am sure it would be unlikely that an amp lower down the hierarchy would prove to be better performing .

Compare the Q7 to other speakers in the same price range, and you would be shocked how much they are revolutionary (I listened to nearly everything from major makers... the Q7 is in a category in its own) |

They are a tour de force no doubt , would love to hear them hooked up to the Boulder 3050, Dartzeel NHB 458 or the Vitus Master-Piece monos .... sticker prices to match

never heard them with Boulder (and you may not need so much power...). But they work very well with the big Dart and Vitus. Very very well. London dealer shows them with the Dartzeel

I hope to hear the Q-7's at some point to see how they compare with the other contenders. As I have noted previously, I have heard Q5's, then Q1's at RMAF and recently Q3's at a local dealer and came away less than impressed as compared to other aluminum speakers (YG and Krell). Whether it was the set-up or associated gear I cannot say.

I just heard the Q7s with Spectral gear. Stunning.
The Q1 and the Q7 are remarkable speakers. I also heard the Raidho C4.0, which was outstanding as well. |
