Re: Munich High End 2015: Magico
Is Irv Gross back with Magico or was the author confused? Irv might have been representing Constellation.

LVB,
AVShowroom video that Le Roy posted of Q7 MKII sounded really good. Much more organic than any other Q7 video I've heard.

Re: Munich High End 2015: Magico
I could be wrong, but weren't the S7's in prototype form? Not sure its fair to comment until someone has heard the finished product.

Re: Munich High End 2015: Magico
The more I see things like this thread regarding Magico, the more I believe man evolved into two completely different genetic pools as it relates to the temporal lobe and auditory cortex---those who love and those who hate Magico. I am not trying to be belligerent, but I am always amazed by the polarity which occurs around Alon's work. It never seems to be "I kinda like it" or "I kinda don't". Rather it seems to garner more extreme reactions from people.

Re: Munich High End 2015: Magico
I wonder about it myself. I think it is somewhat primal and expose some of the different reasons people are attracted to the hobby. You can see an example of that reading the Magico threads that are mostly critical as oppose to the Wilson or Raidho threads that are typically congratulatory.

Re: Munich High End 2015: Magico
I only hope the final production version will be more slim. The prototype was wider that it was deep (or so it looked).
The Q7mk2 demo with Soulution was actually quite good, certainly the best Magico/Soulution I've heard. Still, I would very much like to hear it with the Lampi instead.
I listen to my S5s with Lampi everyday and I'm kind of spoiled.Adam
Speakers: Magico M3
Amp: Dagostino Momentum Stereo
Digital: Lampi Horizon + Lampi DSD Komputer

Thank you for making me feel less tech challenged.:whew: FYI, The 866 works great as a straight, no nonsense integrated with DAC.
