Oh jeez - M6, another super-speaker from Magico

[howiebrou]

Tom Cruise likes Magico.

How about L. Ron Hubbard?

Tom Cruise likes Magico.

That someone likes magico speakers is an impossible mission for some listeners

 

[Al M.]

I find it a bit distasteful for people to regularly bash a brand, any brand, on audio forums. Magico always seems to be a target. There are lots of cartridges and turntables that I have heard and don't own because I prefer something else. I don't feel the need to go on forums and say I don't like those brands with blanket comments. I don't understand it, frankly.

Well said.

It's just stupid.

 

[bonzo75]

Tom Cruise likes Magico.

He also liked Katie Holmes

And Scientology

 

[andromedaaudio]

He probably likes magico because magico has a ¨ scientologistic ¨ approach.

 

[DaveC]

Magico is a target because of their neverending series of speaker releases.

They are a big company with a lot of overhead , you cant keep that company running by sticking 10 years to 1 model ( version).
But I m also of the opinion its a pretty fast remodeling , I do like quite a few models however not all

Wilson releases lots of speakers too.

Now you sound like cantata (the forum user, not Bach cantata)

 

[Al M.]

Now you sound like cantata (the forum user, not Bach cantata)

Perhaps because it's true?

 

[andromedaaudio]

I think the name was cannata , he got easy upset , lol.

Everything is a target on this forum.

I knew you would not understand the mocking of the hyperbole that is the high end audio reviewing scene and how the manufacturers are using it. You will probably figure out some day that these images are off of magico’s Facebook page, and cheap scans apparently of the magazine cover; at least the first one is really poor. But I am thrilled that you are still reading my system thread. I’ve told you to buzz off before.

Nice try at a regroup, but weak
If the OP was your intent to mock audio reviewing, why not say specifically that and why post in the Magico forum?
Weak......

Process is walking around hifi show rooms to judge a component. His Conclusion is Magico is not good

Okay, now I understand what you wrote. Thanks.

I read User211's comments differently. I read two conclusions, not a statement of cause and effect.

The way to form the opinion that there are better rooms at shows than brand X's room is to walk around shows. I assume Justin knows that show conditions are not the way to gauge a speaker.

 

[jeff1225]

But at shows Magico usually don't sound as they should. Sorry, but show impressions are often worthless, and probably mostly when it comes to Magico.

This is a great point Al. I have never liked a Magico speaker at a show and have consistently found them cold and sterile. PeterA's Magico system is the opposite, very engaging and fun to listen to. It's my belief that Magico needs amplification on the warm side of neutral to make them perform to my tastes.

Read what I wrote one more time: I am about to throw up, TAS
I am equally appalled by Magico's rush to put that image up on facebook, and I bet right now no one else has that issue yet. It feels like TAS privied that issue to Magico asap

What purpose does this post provide?
About as much as your modified everything to make up for the stuff you own...absolutely nothing

Sorry, but I found your second line inappropriate and somewhat rude. I for one, admire audiophiles who modify, seek to discover, and push limits in order to make their systems perform better. Sometimes folks find benefit from simple things that are shared and which others have applied for the betterment of their own systems. That is what part of this hobby is all about. In Tasos' case, he was to my knowledge, the first to advocate that simple copper and/or metal mu foil shields can be extremely useful in preventing RFI and EMI noise in electronic circuits made by other manufacturers who typically overlook this type of shielding in their products. I've taken advantage of Tasos' reporting this and for less than 100 bucks, have applied this very frugal improvement to my own system with clear benefit. Remarks that such improvements "make up for the stuff you own" are simply ignorant, mean spirited and do nothing to foster the collegiality that I consider a strength of this forum. I get that you don't dig his gear or his efforts, but c'mon man, there's surely a more collegial way to say it.

Marty, no need to take the bait. Those who know, do know that all my mods transform things in a rather staggering - and sometimes, jaw-dropping - way. And my mods pale compared to what true DIYer's do.

Yeah, your speakers have a coherence top to bottom that most Martin Logan owners could only dream of. Your modified Berkeley DAC clearly performs considerably above stock. I've heard it all for myself.

Keith, that is funny, but I mean in the bashing sense. Lots of expensive turntables, certain wires and power cords, some footers, and some speakers have very few negative comments every written about them on this forum. But, if we presume your statement to be true, do you think all brands get the same amount of negative comments that Magico, and perhaps Wilson, get? I would disagree with that quite strongly.
