Used Magico V3 or Rockport Mira 2

I`ve heard the Magico Q5 at CES 2010 and the Q1 at RMAF this year. I feel the same as Cmalak and Sibelius, the speakers did`nt reproduce the tone,overtones, fullness and body of instruments. IMO they did`nt sound natural but have an artificial character.

I sure it comes down to what reference one uses, in my case it`s live jazz played in local clubs without amplification, Just musicians on stage with their saxaphones,trumpets, drum sets, acoustic bass and piano. There`s such a vibrant and fullness of tone when those instruments are heard in person. Beautiful texture,timbre and warmth. It`s quite emotionally involving. The Magigo seems to strip this quality and thus to me sounds thin,leaner and washed out compared to reality.

I realize it`s all just diffenent ears and preferences.
J. Valin and others really love the Magico presentation. it just is`nt for me.
Regards,

I agree my MAGICO MINI 2 sounds much warmer and more musical.JV will be pushing anything new.

JV, MF, RH, PM, JF, AS are all pushers!!
BTW, you are agreeing with people that do not like anything Magico does, including your Mini…

Usermanual,
You seem to take these discussions personally. I believe these reviewers rave about Magico because they truly like them and are sincere with their praise. Some listeners will like them and others won`t.
If you admire what they do then why do you care if others simply feel differently? It makes no sense.

I happen to really like a good SET amplifier, otheres don`t, that does`nt bother me at all(why should it?).

I still like my MAGICO MINI 2 even if certain people love to bash them.Get a life DUDE!!
