q3 magico

for me the Contriva has an own sound .... every note of music coming out of this loudspeaker has some king of lacker put on it ...
it's like if a cook would be using all the time the same spice on every different dish ...
this is particularty disturbing if you hear mostly classical music as I do ...

it seems to me obvious that the Magico's Mini II is fare more neutral and shows a lot more details ...

TBG, it matters because you don' have the frame of reference that an A/B comparison would afford you. You defend what you own, fine, but you have never had Magico in your room nor heard the speakers side by side. The reviewer has, and has more credibility because of it.

Your the last judge not a reviewer its your opinion that counts.

Usermanual, I'm glad you have found a speaker you like, but sad that you think your standards apply to all.

I cannot see why you and Clavil think you can convince others that they cannot hear. Why would it matter to you? Do you have some other purpose?

I agree with Clavil about the Magico sound. I find it to be less "hifi". I first heard the V2 and then the Mini II. I bought the latter and listen mostly to classical music. I have since heard the Q3 in an excellent setting at my local dealership. It sounds less like a box than any box speaker I've ever heard. It is an incredible speaker and I wish I could afford to own it.

Lots of people don't like Magico speakers, and that's fine.
