To those of you who have heard the Majestics how have they compared to other flagships like XVX, M9, Kharma enigma veyron, Sonja XV etc etc?
Divin Majestic vs other flagships?
- Thread starter tobiasrankin
- Start date
The Majestics will be on permanent display at the new Gobel Factory/Showroom starting soon.
At this time the only place they would have been heard is at MOC the year Oliver introduced them and there is a pair in HK>
The Majestic needs a large room. I have heard all of the speakers and just finsished a visit a short time agao at RH at which we heard the XXV with the same gear in the same room. Stirling Trayle was a participant in both system set ups.
I dont think my personal opinion will carry much weight in this discussion , since I am involved with Gobel, but I do suggest reading the reviews of Olivers speakers including the Majestic which are all over the world.
I personally cant wait to hear them in the new large soundroom at the new building this May.

I have heard the Divin Majestic, the XVX about five times, the YG Sonja XV once and the XV Jr. about three times.
But the speakers all were in different shows in different rooms with different associated components. So no comparative impressions would be valid.
If I couldn't have panel speakers, and if I had to choose one of these today, I do know which one I would choose.

But what would the RonBot say Ron?
that was it. It’s got a price algorithm
RonBot no say horns of Aviton??? and lovely pretty pair of Drina
I thought the OP question was limited to dynamic driver loudspeakers.
Ahh yes…
I guess the subject title flagships refers to dynamic drivers in the bot world. For us humans with emotion…
All of the "other flagships" listed are dynamic driver loudspeakers, so I thought the OP was limiting the question to dynamic driver loudspeakers.
It would be risky because I have heard the Divin Majestic only briefly. Compared to the XVX the Majestic is a three-way design, rather than a more complicated multi-way design, and I assume the Majestic has a much simpler crossover. The Majestic is 96dB sensitive and a relatively easy load, I believe.
I would put 140 watts of Trafomatic Drina SET on the Majestic, and listen happily ever after. (And the underlying box speaker analysis for me personally here also is that as much as I love the Rockport Lyra I think the height of the Majestic would afford me a grander scale and soundstage that I don't think the much shorter Lyra could quite achieve.)
That's what I thought on the speaker--its the highest sensitivity and clearly allows for the greatest amplifier flexibility.
A low mileage Arrakis came up for sale or year or two ago. Frankly, I think Arrakis versus Lyra + subwoofers is a tough analysis.
Ya good point, maybe can maybe match arrakis with subs + lyra.
Would be interesting to do that face off. Also maybe arrakis + subs vs lyra + subs.
I wonder if they stopped making arrakis because it was just too difficult to make?
