| Thoughts about the Magico A3, Revel Salon2/ Studio2 Both speakers “sound power” are down ~15 dB at 20K ("listening window" on the Revel actually deviate down more then the Magico), they just, conveniently, gave the Revel graphs more smoothing, so it is harder to see (Note the Magico scale is a bit ... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Nice, how did you get these measurements?Both Magico and Ravel measurements are exemplary. The Persona is a trainwreck. I am surprise that Paradigm, which typically produce solid engineered products will build such a turd. | |
| Paradigm Persona series @audiotroy As per Sciencecop saying we never heard really expensive Magico’s at Goodwins You are putting words in my mouth, have a bit of decency, will you.Own your BS, although I know it is hard for you to keep up with all of them. | |
| Paradigm Persona series Heard the Magico M series at Goodwins and was not impressed for a $180k It would be hard to be impressed given the fact that Goodwin does not have the $180K M...Regardless, these Persona cant be tamed, their aggressiveness brittle sound comes from... | |
| Paradigm Persona series This has nothing to do with being flat or rolled off. The FR with wild swings of -/+ 5 dB indicates some serious issues, most likely from the midrange breakup area (5-8Khz). Also, unacceptable THD in the upper mid. | |
| Paradigm Persona series I will say that the Persona mid/highs measurements in the NRC are horrendous. A beryllium midrange, if not damped will ring like a bell.These speaker are bright and coarse, subjectively and objectively. This may be the right speakers for the agi... | |
| Magico A3 vs S3 MKI @shadorne The only thing that should differ between recordings or styles of music is how loud it needs to be played to sound its absolute best. So are you saying that there are no bad recordings??Unfortunately, the better the speakers the more it... | |
| Magicos are chesty @erik_squires Frequency response plots are hard to come buy, but the two I have seen kind of back me up.Not really, these are all gated measurements. Once put in a room, they will have SPL boost below 200hz due to room gain and doubling up on dire... | |
| Magicos are chesty Nothing says music like the sound of aluminum vibrating..... Sure, that is why airplanes are made of MDF... | |
| Why so many wilson alexias for sale @sfischer1 +1However, some of us do have expensive system(s), so in this particular situation, without commenting on the Wilson sound, I can’t help but wonder about the business model. A lot of these alexias have been online for way over six m... | |
| Horn listeners - Do you have trouble listening to others? AMT tweeters give me a headache. The sound of stressed plastic is fatiguing... | |
| Why so many wilson alexias for sale I just heard them. It is practically the same speaker, only Wilson customers can “hear” the amazing difference. The dealers take them in trade, so it is only ~$16K or so hit. But looks like they get stuck with them. Don’t understand how it works; ... | |
| Magicos are chesty @eric_squ God I am so tempted to hack a pair. :) If only I had a bazillion dollars to blow on taking apart a speaker whose crossover I’m going to completely rework.LOL, I suggest you call up Magico and offer your help... Well, it certainly IS in... | |
| Magicos are chesty ctsooner Many speakers are lacking in the power range (lower-midrange). The Vandersteen are notoriously weak at that region (Even JA concluded his review of your speakers with: “I remain puzzled by that lack of lower-midrange energy…”). So yes, re... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? @ musicloversaudio Wilson audioThe biggest hoax in the industry. And the dealers believe that… How sad ☹ |
