Oh jeez - M6, another super-speaker from Magico
- Thread starter ack
- Start date
Magico was heavily criticised before they started producing so many different models. People don't seem to be bashing the lower A series as much. I don't quite get the neverending part. Is VPI criticized for this? I don't think so. No, I think it is something else.
Add to that list the magnetic stabilization of the VPI arm, which was so significant that Bob Graham made sure I was informed not to attempt to commercialize it. And then there is the platter-LP interface, and so many other significant changes.
From this very M6 TAS review published just today http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/magico-m6/?page=4 - a speaker with no shortcomings
And this is why I started this thread

Thats probably the reason the absolute sound /magico gets it lol.
If you put Yourself out there like that you re asking for it.

I'm old enough to remember when Mark Spitz came to the SAE factory to pick out his own gear.
My concern is with the oftentimes very evident review/manufacturer "fiasco" as I see it. This is one egregious case, and has become quite predictable. I love most of the Magico speakers that I have heard, and continue to be enamored with the Q series and most S
So that would then mean we have seen the last magico .
No more updates because it has no shortcomings.
And if we do get an update that means this one had a flaw afterall.

Lots of jealous people on this site. Maybe the M6 is the best at this time, but time, and technology, marches on. So, I have no problem with Magico releasing an even better speaker at some future time.
Oh c'mon bro. I like Magico speakers, a lot. But pointing out contra the ridiculous assertion of the review that any speaker, including Magico, has inevitable shortcomings, is jealousy? Perhaps that's what gives Magico a bad name, its FanBoys.
You forget the threads that nauseatingly slobber over every part of a Magico cabinet as if Alon has solved cold fusion. The Magico forum has 148 threads, by far one of the highest on the manufacturers sub-forum. That doesn't seem to equal loads of criticism, but plenty of fans!
There are various threads where posters crap on the AF0, WAMM, SAT tonearms, Dagostinos, footers, panzerholz, non-SET amps, non-horns, etc. Heck, dCS isn't exactly loved here either. Your current guide, ddk, craps on half the audiophile establishment in not so flattering terms (wall tampons). Amir and Blizzard crapped on anything non-Harman back in the old days. PeterB crapped on the "chaff" and was banned.
In short, there is lots of gear crapping on this forum - the nature of the beast given its title. Magico and Wilson are the high end's big boys, so perhaps they get more but hey that comes with the position. Wilson has been crapped on for decades - hasn't hurt business $1. Same with Bose - the poster child of negative sentiment.

Far enough on my second line but I expect more from ack and was trying to make a point.
Unfortunately, shortcomings are noticed by the subconscious of the owner.
Ditto here as well--I attended the CES full setup initial launch of the Brand with a good friend --I sat in the front row and listened intently( cannot recall whether it was Boulder or Classe Amps but it was a Server as they could not play my CD) I must have twitched my nose or something because Mr Wolf came up to me and demanded I leave the room immediately -WTF?--I sorta didn't mind as I found the speaker irritating frankly
Haven't heard them much better since --not for me.
Oh yes my "good friend " was Ricardo from AbSound UK whom I've known for over 35 Years he implored me to stay but nope-I waited outside in the hall way--AbSound liked what he heard and carries the brand today--so this only goes to prove
We all hear different -Ricardo liked them immensly as does our esteemed gentleman here Peter A where I'm sure they perform superbly.
Mr. Wolf designed the Sondek CD12 which I've owned so I give him Kudos for that
Like I've said before --Horses for Courses

That's surprising, Alon Wolf as digital designer? Do you have a source for that?
