are magico better than electrostatic


magico speakers do not eliminate rear wave energy. They contain it inside a box where it bounces around and much of it comes out the cone. Also being a multi way speaker it splits the signal up into parts then tries to combine them again. This is never going to be as good as having a driver that can actually produce full range perfectly, which currently doesn't exist.

So how good really is magico? how would it compare with the perfect speaker if it existed? 

what makes a magico that much better than an average speaker such as ATC?

The problem with magico is its an expensive speaker but it doesnt solve the main problem of rear energy absorption. Wouldnt you be better off building an anechoic room with that kind of money and putting drivers in a wall? or just vent the rearwaves outdoors so that they dont reflect back out the front. That would be state of the art. what you are hearing with magico is part of the front wave mixedwith some rear wave reflections. This cant be state of the art.

DUDE, what is seriously wrong with you? This is now the second time in a week I’ve had to respond to one of your insane statements. ATC is an "average" speaker? Where do you even get this from??? ATC is one of the most respected and revered speaker manufacturers in the world. What the hell do YOU listen to???

And the "main problem" of rear energy absorption? There is no "main" problem with speakers . ALL speakers have problems -- it’s just how you manage the trade offs. Maggies, ESLs, bipolar, di-polar, traditional dynamic box speakers -- they all have their strengths and limitations. Can you just stop with your insane and incoherent rants please???

I bit, and I kinda regret it. I’d urge the rest of the reputable A’gon community to not engage this moron. I personally will not waste any more time on him. Peace out.
