No, they are not. :) But they sure are in a much better space.
I was drunk when I wrote this. I meant, I heard the Magico's in a very well treated listening room.

erik, Though I believe I know the coloration you are talking about with "chesty," there’s also the case FOR voices sounding "chesty." That is: many systems produce a sort of hologram of a human voice that sounds like a voice without a body. It’s all "mouth noise" and maybe a bit of throat. It sounds disembodied. Whereas a human voice, especially male closer up, does combined with a chest sound giving the voice that sense of "body" behind it. I actually find a system that can produce some of that "chest/body" sound to be more natural and convincing. So long as it is not via an obvious speaker-like artificial coloration. |
I was waiting for ebm to pipe in in defense of Magico. Chestiness would certainly be considered an egregious fault in speakers that have such a heroically built cabinet. I always associate chestiness with cabinet resonance. No problem ebm, just put in a little extra bracing and some wool! As you always say, "Good luck though!" |
Aw yes "keep talking guys" mg says while pointing to his website http://www.michaelgreenaudio.net/tunable-speakers Tunable speakers my friends. Being able to make the mechanical adjustments needed to mate with the room or the recording is the future of serious listening. Michael Green |
