    Soulution 511 Amplifier Impressions

    I wanted to share my recent impressions of the Soulution 511 amplifier. I set it up with the Weiss Helios DAC connected directly to the Solution 511, driving a pair of new Magico S3 (2023) speakers. It sounded absolutely wonderful. The Helios is exceptional and the 511 really let everything...

    Rossini + A5 + ? == “living inside HD800 headphones playing Kraftwerk through Bartok HP”

    I started another thread re new system but didn’t really specify exactly what I want to achieve. Already have the Rossini + clock and ordered the A5 so that’s set in stone along with wires. What I want is to feel like my room is a big pair of HD800 headphone. The only music I care about is...

    New Magico speaker arriving Dec, 2019

    Magico LLC posted this sneak peak of what appears to be a new A series speaker. I wonder what model designation they will give this speaker? Imho Alon should have named the A3 "A2", then this speaker could have been named the A3. Still, looks like this will become the 'poor' man's M3 :cool:

    Visit to Boston to Hear the Sublime Sound of PeterA

    With Tinka away on a business trip I took the opportunity to visit PeterA, with whom I have developed over the last three years a close friendship via WBF posts, telephone calls and emails.

    Magico Loudspeakers -- Los Angeles Audio Show 2017

    I have a confession to make at the outset: I have never cared much for the original versions of Magico loudspeakers. I found them dynamic and transparent and neutral and extended in the low frequencies and the high frequencies and very well-made --but I never felt that they sounded like live...
