| Raidho D1 audition guys... let's stop the pissing contest... People have different opinions and taste, that's fine. Forums should be about sharing personal opinions, not criticizing each others...Dracule1: Before my purchase, I have heard probably more speakers than... | |
| Raidho D1 audition After 4.5 years with a pair of Evolution Acoustics MM3 (2 12" woofers, 2 ceramic mids, 1 ribbon tweeter), I went for new speaker hunting a bit more than one year ago. I have heard probably 150 speakers, and the best ones (Magico, TAD, Vivid, Raidh... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 sonic improvement:- more transparent in particular in medium (probably because of less cabinet resonance)- smoother tweeter- more bass extension- gives more the impression to listen to a "big" speaker. Don't know why: maybe bass extension or maybe... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 I may be wrong, but from the HKG location and from the pics, it sounds like a Q7 from the ex local dealer, Sound Chamber, which was replaced a few months ago by a new dealer, Radar (which btw was the right move as Sound Chamber was very arrogant, ... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Yes, I would be also very happy with the Mini 2, and I also prefer mini 2 than V2.No, the Q1 is not dry sounding, actually it is warmer than the Mini 2 (tweeter less in your face). But this is true only if they are fully burned in. The first 400 h... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 The mini 2 is a classic, great speaker, still better than most current speakers. But I had the privilege to listen to it in same room as the Q1, the Q1 does everything better (bass extension, imaging, transparency and sweeter highs). I believe the... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 When I looked replacement for the MM3, I listened to speakers from Raidho, TAD, Kharma, Marten, Magnepan, Wilson, Lansche, Focal Utopia, Avalon, Gyia, Joseph audio, Estelon, Hansen, KEF, MBL, Vandersteen, Sonus Faber, YG, Rockport, Nola, Aerial...... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne My personal experience with Evolution acoustic sales tactic is also interesting. I owned a pair of EA MM3 for 4 years (listened it at mike Lavigne house). At the beginning, I was very happy except for some quality issues: a HUGE speaker to show of... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 I don't buy every magico... but I kept listening to other brands and didn't find something superior, so it seems I will end up with 2 Magico systems: Q1 in living room, Q7 in dedicated music room (completed with Magico center speaker and S1 when I... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne "Apparently one owner preferred the MM1 to a Magico Q7, so that is pretty high praise, and he ended up selling his Q7".Funny to see how people can be naive and believe a story which is pushed by the owner of EA and its unofficial salesman Mike Lav... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 btw.. you should listen also to S1. Very impressive for less than half of Q1 price. I would say it is significantly better than V2. I have ordered a pair I will use as surround speakers, should arrive in one month. Will be interesting to compare t... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 I have replaced a pair of Evolution acoustics MM3 (500lbs per piece) with a pair of Q1. I don't regret the MM3 at all. It doesn't go down to 16Hz like MM3, but it is doing all the rest much better. I use them in a completely treated, dedicated roo... | |
| Magico S5 review melbguy1,I would take the Hegel over the Boulder (better value for money). The Hegel pre is also very good.Btw, I own none of them, I have a Devialet and a Dartzeel 108 with my Q1.Knghifi,that's a the first time I hear anybody stating that one mag... | |
| Magico S5 review knghifi,My ranking of the speakers you mention (I listened to all of them several time): Magico > TAD > Vivid >> Magnepan >> avantgarde.If you heard the S5 on Constellation and Spectral, I am not surprised you prefer Constellatio... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 or Puppy 5.1 I would go with none of them.... |
