Has any one heard Magico Speakers?

Just read the TAS review....is it me or did the review stike strike you as very odd as well? TAS's philosophy has paid little relevance to measurements yet the reviwer not only introduces it which was out of character enough but introduces some new type of measurements developed by someone external from the magazine and then does not provide any comparisons so there is no frame of reference to make it really useful. If you are going to do it, at least be consistent like Stereophile. Sloppy work IMO. This has nothing to do with the speaker itself.

I read the review and wondered why Jonanthan Valin did not compare the the Magico monitors to the Kharma 3.2s, of which he has written extensively in the past. It would seem to be a natural comparison. From just reading between the lines, Mr. Valin did not seem to find the magic in the Magicos he found in the Kharmas.

I am happy to say that after 3 rounds of intensive listening, I have finally purchased the Magico Mini to replace my Revel Salon. They are as extreme as speakers can be and represent a total shift in 'direction': From a 4 way, 7 driver system to a 2 way standmount speaker. I firmly believe this is the right move.

To get more out from the TAS Review, go visit TAS forum. There's a 3 page thread on the MM where I also shared my experiences.

Henryhk,
Once you learn to appreciate the nearly textbook execution and the advantages of a sealed enclosure design, I think you will no longer look for a comparison between the Magico and the Kharma CRM3.2. Again, someone has discussed this in the TAS forum, and the user ended up with the Magico as well. Truly special speakers. ws

I am curious if there are any dealers in Upstate New York (Binghamton area)?. Being a dealer myself, I have been intrigued by the Magico products and very interested in hearing them.
Being a small dealer, they are probably out of price point as well as my customer base but then again, I do have $20k+ speakers here.
As another person mentioned in this thread, Magico appears to use cutting edge technology that may or may not be for everyone. A $20k standmount speaker may seem like a lot of money to some (and prbably is for most) but until consumers can actually spend time with such a product, they can never really be certain of it's value.
I hope to be fortunate enough to hear one of their designs in the near future.
