Another review of the Q3 is in the current issue of Hi Fi News. Highly, highly regarded.
I wasn't overly impressed with the Q5 set-up compared to some other speakers at last years RMAF but it was till very good. Every aluminum speaker I have listened to YG, Krell, Magico has been top notch. im |

I heard the Q5s at my local dealer, I have to say they are the best sounding speakers I have heard. They have amazing detail and a smooth musical sound with no harshness. The bass is amazing in it's detail without being overpowering, some may want more bass but it's just right for me.
My dealer is getting in the Q3s soon. I'm looking forward to seeing how close the Q3s sound is to the Q5s.

Just curious, how can Magico's metal cabinet be so much more solid than YG's metal cabinet?

From what I understand, the magico cabinet is a TENSIONED aluminum cabinet. It is screwed together under tension and the drivers are sandwiched between 2 aluminum sheets. If you blow a driver, it needs to go back to the factory.
There are other companies out there making great cabinets, and cabinets are only one part of the equation. Look at some of the reviews on the Rockport cabinet construction and you'll see there's more than one way to skin a cat. |

I attended a Demo of the Q3 here in Michigan Saturday. I attended with a good friend that worked in the industry years ago. We both left puzzled with the Q3. The bass wasn't good and the top end sounded veiled. Some instruments like a bass guitar didn't sound like the instrument. We talked to several others that attended and they felt the same way. some felt the system sounded very flat. I'm not sure if there was a problem with the setup, the room or the synergy of the system but they sure didn't live up to the hype.

They were using MSB audio Platinum Mono 202 Amplifiers (VP from Magico said they were excellent), and Diamond Platinum DAC IV with their CD player. Not sure of the cable brand, however the dealer carries Nordost (though I know it wasn't Nordost).
