Magico M9 vs. Magico Ultimate 3 Horn- Box vs. Horn! Which will be better? In which ways?

Well, I am surprised if those speakers CAN'T sound good. The amps; however, are Chinese...not sure why you said WE...
A friend of mine has the big Everest, with a beautiful set of LAMM. Same thing, some parts are good, some are not, especially the integration from the horn to the woofers, a constant earsore. Same story with every horn setup I ever heard. "These speakers" can sound good to you, we should just leave it at that.

Indeed if only you could just leave it at that… some would say the same of your Magicos. In truth it doesn’t really matter what everyone likes or don’t like, we all might be happy with our speakers and there’s always plenty who wouldn’t be. It’s just the way of subjectivity. As long as you’re happy etc etc :rolleyes:
 
No need for name calling, this is uncalled for. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything, and I would certainly not suggest that one may or may not like what I like because the amp was a "Chinees" amp, etc etc :rolleyes:

Can you explain what you are talking about here… what Chinese amps are you referring to and why you have misspelt Chinese and put it in parenthesis :rolleyes: Where have I called you names… what exactly is uncalled for???

He is right about the everest and the 66000 and 67000. They are not good speakers and have integration problems as well

Okay i wil give the demo the somewhat benefit of the doubt that the speakers were completely underpowered with that amp .
I heard no bass at all , just some mumbling coming out of the mid horn and high freq horn.

It is not clear from the photo what amp is connected to the JBLs. The WE is one of 4 amps in the photo...the other three are Melody from China.

WE claims this is a 20 watt 300B SET...not parallel SET, single tube per channel SET (normal is like 6-8 watts). I would not be surprised if the speaker was underpowered with this amp.
 
Yeah we keep trying this but lose out on that 20 mins.

Btw, London does not have good Indian places. However, if you two are interested, book the Biryani supper club at Darjeeling Express, Covent Garden. It is every Sunday. 195 for the couple, but gets sold out so you have to book a few weeks in advance. 1pm to 4, 7 course meal. It is fantastic and the best Biryani I have ever had, better than in India. Tip: they serve so much quantity, and allow you to take home, that you can book for 1 veg and 1 non-veg, as the quantity will ensure you can both try both.
Dishoom Trust me. Dishoom.

Doesn't the Magico Ultimate Horn system convert the entire audio signal the digital?

Why would any audiophile who values analog want this result?
