Yping - Gershman vs Magico?- I would not offer an opinion on this because
they were connected to very different systems.
They did both sound very neutral, spacious and very dynamic. Based on
their price I would venture to say the Magico should sound better, but
unless I have heard the two components in the same system/environment
then any assessment is based on recall and not really valid.
Also, comparing an $18k speaker to a $3.5k is not really a fair comparison.
Although the Sonogram is an outstanding speaker - the Gershman GAP
828 might be a better choice to compare to the Magico.
Re: what speakers cables are they better than? - they were significantly
better than my old van den hul d352 with Furez bananas and they also
sounded much better than a pair of very expensive Cardas cables.
I might be trying a pair of Purist Audio in a couple of weeks - I'll keep you
posted
