I would certainly try to compare them directly to the Q1. The are less expensive, may have different power requirements and they have a different aesthetic. I'm sure they sound quite different. If I were in the market, I would also compare them to a used pair of Mini 2s for even less money.
We all know that the reason Magico gets so much hype is because they have a certain reviewer in their corner (more likely their pocket). Get real and go listen to both of them yourself to make a judgement. Assuming everything is hooked up and grounded properly, you're not going to do better for the price range or sound quality than a C1.1.
