In Reply to: Magico speakers... posted by timothywas1@comcast.net on January 8, 2017 at 09:26:45:
always in rooms either too small or too big or...
Also participated in a factory visit to the Magico in Oakland a year or so ago and got to listed to a pair play in their custom designed listening room, which was pretty impressive, but should be, yes?
That said, Mr. Wolf has a bit of a well-earned reputation for being a $^@* (you pick the word here) and will usually not allow ANYTHING to be played on his speakers during a demonstration but music HE picks.
My advice?
If your dealer will allow an in-home demo, go for it. At Magico price points, an in-home demo is NOT an unreasonable request.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
