    Rhapsody.Audio Listening Rooms

    It's a beautiful room that serves as both a listening space as well as conversation sitting. It also sits a half block away from Central Park, which is very desirable in Manhattan. It does have a Zen quality when in the room.

    Morricab's comments about Alsyvox are his opinion, which I respect, and agree that the rooms at the Marriott are MUCH better rooms sonically than those at MOC. If you compare the sound of a system that was at the Marriott to the same system placed at MOC, one would probably prefer the sound...

    Hi Gian, thank you. Well, I have five rooms and about 10 systems set up that I can turn on in the different rooms. I don’t think I could narrow it down to one system. I probably could not narrow it down to two or three systems. I like them all, ha ha My Showroom is my home I like to live in the...

    Time will tell, but the M7 is even different than the M9 to me. The M9 is for a big room and has an IMAX capability. The M7 in my 15' X 24' X 9' room plays to the room. The physical size of the M7 is not overly imposing. Sonically of course the M7 disappears and the soundstage, depending on...

    For some reason I think any quality electronics will do the job. I do not think to get A+ performance one would have to change their electronics if they like what they already own. OTHER THAN amplification that is <50 Watts/channel. I also think that the M7 does NOT represent a "Magico...

    GM John:) As of today 250 hours. At 100 hours I would have felt comfortable doing serious demos. At 150 hours I did do a serious demo. Both the visitor and I were in awe of the sound. We played the Pilium, the Kondo and then back to the 440 Ex. Pro Devialet. Even with the Devialet we both...

    Visit to Chris to See Magico M9 and VYGER and Pilium in Southlake, Texas

    Yeah, we just disagree. When I have had visitors/reviewers in the past, they just did pics/comments and it always worked nicely, but of course everyone has different ways of doing what they do. Understood. Here is an example where Dr. Matt Clott from TAS visited for I think 2 hours and then...

    My opinion is that pics and descriptions would be more beneficial than posting less than stellar videos on these especially brief visits. I don't see what is gained with the videos vs pic/comments.

    Lorenzo LM 1 speakers (96db efficient). Key, the owner is a reviewer (Stereo Times) so he has sources and electronics rolling in and out. He now has one of my Ongakus on the LM1s that is not in this pic. Key has a Dohmann TT and a Canary phono stage, with several different cartridges. He has...

    I just gave one my Ongakus to my friend in Manhattan last night to drive the Lorenzo LM1s. This is a new Rhapsody location now over in the Financial District of the city. I only have one Ongaku left but you can have that one:) but I NEVER will give up my Atlantis, now that it finally works...

    Ron, apparently there was mis-communication about posting the video. It happens. But Chris and I do not like the video that has been posted. Simple as that. We just don't like the audio quality of the video. Btw, I am part owner of the M9s that are in Chris's place. I don't like the...

    They really are different, but more similar than not vs cabinet/cone speakers. I have the Odeon Carneige and Semper. Then I have Diesis Roma Triode, Roma and Auras. The Diesis RT and Romas as well as the Carneige and Semper can be driven easily with full dynamics from the 1 Watt Triode Lab 45...

    Not really. Anyone can schedule a visit to either the Magico factory or the Dallas showroom to hear the M9s. Ask Joey V, who posted above. We hosted three nights for a total of around 50 visitors last year to hear the M9s. Not to sell M9s, just to give those the chance if they wanted that...

    Sure the music often sucks but I've heard a LOT of great sound at shows and the music doesn't suck. Not sure how you can make a blanket statement about "exhibitors" play safe music. There are many exhibitors that play first gen R2R that is mesmerizing or great vinyl as well as digital. I...

    >>>> We are talking about M9 and WAMM not XVX. The flagship products of both Wilson and Magico. No one said that this video submarined sales. I am saying that Magico and myself have made a conscious decision several years ago not to market the Magico flagship product via YT videos. Nothing...

    This is not the case Ron. Chris is a dealer not a hobbyist. His new shop is called Euphoria Audio and he is a dealer for several brands that Rhapsody provides to him as a dealer. What I had said and maybe it was miscommunicated was that Chris was no longer a Rhapsody location like the other...

    I think you should ask Chris again if I did not want him to be a Rhapsody location. It was a mutual decision as Chris wanted to go off and do his own thing which I applaud. For the record, Chris still is connected with Rhapsody, but in a different capacity. He sells several of the brands that...

    HI Wil, Yes, it's really all over the place. With some visitors you would get GREAT selections, but two year ago, I handed the iPad to someone who handed it to their teenage son, who put on some crazy sounding bad recording. Then the mfg. who was out in the hall came in and said that two...

    Hi Joey, yes that was a fun time last year both at the three days of demos and the dinner! I meant the WAMM. Not the XVX, although I did see one WAMM video from five years ago at a customer's home. I don't think that you will find a WAMM video or M9 video with sound at either a Wilson...
