Some Magico questions
1. Do the Q speakers have a small sweetspot like the Wilsons do? This is a biggie, everyone on the sofa should be able to experience the same soundstage.
2. We keep reading reviews about how boxless and transparent Magico speakers sound. Most of us audiophiles think of Martin Logans when it comes to these desciptions. Are Magicos truly as transparent and boxless sounding as Martin Logan Electrostatics? 3. To those who have YG Acoustic's speakers, what are the similarities and differences between the YG Acoustics and Magico sound? Both have aluminum enclosures. Thank you in advance for answering my questions. |

1. Wilson's do not have a small sweetspot so don't know what you're referring to.
2. Not in my experience. There are good but not CLS good |

I spent two hours listening to Wilson speakers, the sweetspot was one person wide, I wish it was bigger. Next to soundstaging thats a biggie with me for the reasons stated. Now I have talked to various dealers who state the Wilson's sweetspot can be widen but at the expense of something else. I am glad your Sasha's are different. Are you running a single Devialet or two mono?

2 hours?
I've owned 5 pairs of Wilsons over 20+ years. The sweetspot is not 1 person wide. Who are you dealing with? Single right now although I've tried 2.... |

There is not a Magico dealer in Austin,TX. So I have reviews and posts from various Magico owners to go by. So to any Magico owner out there could you please answer my questions. Thank you in advance. |

My I suggest you use some of those frequent flyer miles and visit a Magico dealer and listen for yourself.
From the questions you ask I think the Q1's will astonish you..... BTW I'm back to mono Devaliet's right now Last edited by g997; 07-30-2012 at 09:52 AM. |

Appreciated the response on the Q1s. I have read the same sentiment elsewhere, the Q1 are equal (and better on certain aspects) to the Q3s except the for volume and bass. Since I am already off topic here, what sold you on the Devaliets? What improvements did you notice going mono temporalily? Are you using the "Air" option? |

I'd highly recommend Ears Nova in NYC for your demo, and I'm afraid that Dyns do not compare to Magico right now (and this from a Dyn owner). But you pay quite a bit for that clear improvement.
The Platinum Temptations may be closer, but they should be for $60K or whatever the final price will be. The Q sweetspot is not small, and to my ear they are better than YG but that will come down to personal preference and matching electronics, set up, etc. Bass (sealed vs. powered sub) is one very noticeable difference. |
