| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? The DeVore are some of the most colored loudspeakers out there. Their top-end in-room response is dramatically shelved down, and their prominent midrange is riding everything else. (https://www.stereophile.com/content/devore-fidelity-orangutan-o9... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! You should go back to the Magico before you make a final decision, you are getting smitten by the things that will ultimately drive you crazy (excessive bass). The mid bass regain on these is pumped up, that will be cool on some pieces, but try fe... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! You are right on the money (and if the speakers are new, you heard nothing yet). Once you get it, there is no way back. Forget about the Alexia (or the Alex). Wilson models just get worse as they get bigger. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! The S5 can play extremely loud without any strain (all reviews and listening sessions confirm that), but you do need an amp that can drive it at high levels. The amp at the NRC probably can’t drive the S5 properly; the impedance is rather low abov... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! The measurements of the S5 are exemplary, the lowest THD measured at the NRC . The legendary Martin Colloms from HIFI Critics, the last word on loudspeakers design, said (and bought), about the S5: “Just for the record, … the overall distortion ne... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? @ctsooner Magico’s as he’s lifted the treble to make them sound more open on top Listen, you can like what you like, I am not about to get into a Magico dirt fight again, but some basic diligent of facts, not opinions, are needed. It is actually t... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... @fleschler The number one audio system at shows for the past three years has been his Ultra 11s as written up in Absolute Sound, Stereophile, Enjoy the Music, Positive Feedback and others, not Magicos.... Sure, none of these outfits ever gave rav... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Fleschler,Most of the speakers you like are grossly colored. Of course, we heard them all and seen some of their measurements. They are not very good, objectively, and in my case, subjectively. Perhaps you and your friends have been at it too long... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... There are many deaf or deluded audiophiles who listen to sound and not music. Yes, so many deaf or deluded... not to mention ill-advised that unfortunately insist on advising. BTW, my wife also has " very critical hearing" that is why she never li... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Haters will be haters 😉 Dark/bright, fat/lean, colored/dry, etc… So many conflicting reports, some still don’t get it, these are the most transparent transducers around. What you hear is what’s playing through them, the good and/or the bad. Aud... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? If you play digital, the MSB DAC can drive any amp, using passive analog volume control only. | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... The A3 sounded fantastic on an Ayre AX-5 Twenty. The dealer told me that if I order an A3 today, I would get it in Dec. Magico has sold over 750 pairs of A3s in the first 6 months of its introduction, twice as many as they predicted to sell in ... | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? ... I did not appreciate them above the many other box speaker in the $10k price point"Some do, even against more expensive models:https://www.soundstageglobal.com/index.php/product-debuts/magico-a3-december-2017/739-magico-a3-loud...Sounded much... | |
| Y No YG ? At AXPONA the MUCH cheaper A3 sounded A LOT better than the Carmel. And that was a much cheaper setup. | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? Sorry, didn’t realize some people will get confused if I didn’t say "In My Opinion....” {:- |
