Magico Q3 or S5 with Good Subwoofer
Looking for advice… I'll be listening to Magico Q3 and S5 this coming weekend. I currently own Wilson Audio Sasha 1's. I'll also be listening to Vivid Audio Giya G2 and Rockport Avior. From reading many reviews it sounds like people complain about the impact Magico speakers have in the lower register? I have a Wilson Audio Watchdog subwoofer which I consider to be an excellent subwoofer for music and theater. I'm assuming the Q3 will stand out in this group and would pair nicely with my sub thus providing any missing deep impact bass that would be required in the listening experience. Also anxious to hear the Giya G2. Appreciate any thoughts and advice. Thanks!

Magico speakers are pretty fast, but you can try if you already have the subwoofer.
My opinion is you don't need a sub with the Q3 / S5. Olaf

I don't think I need a subwoofer for my S5. It may not be easy to integrate a sub as Olaf mentioned. I moved from the Sasha which in my room has a stronger upper bass but I find the bass of the S5 is better defined and more coherent to the mid-range.

My S5s sound great without subs. But they sound even better with them.

Hi Howard, that's a good sized room. Did you use the equalization program provided with the JL subs?

I'm also using the Pass Labs XVR-1, crossing over at 29 Hz. |
