MAGICO Q1 vs dc10 Berlin SM

I had the opportunity to try the Q1 in my system for a while..When they were delivered by the Goodwin's staff I was initially very disappointed.I was told that I should give them a chance to "settle" Since they were delivered in fairly cold weather I agreed.

I then went out for 3-4 hours leaving the system playing. when I returned, I decide to listen again. The sound had improved so much, I would have sworn Goodwin's folks had come back and replace them with another pair, these with different drivers and a much improved. I was amazed to say the least..

The point I am trying to make is that perhaps the OP had not heard the Magicos at their best. I have owned lots of very good equipment over the years and have never be as surprised as I was that day.

Thanks for the notes, and the very nice comment Ebm...It seems a shame that dealers need to employ those kinds of tactics here. I was under the assumption that "dealers" we supposed to be up front and transparent and represent their motives for all to see. These kind of measure only serve to decrease my confidence when it comes to using the site and the forums in particular as I believe it was intended. Just one more reason that I have been less incline to do much business here. Very unfortunate indeed....my best to all, Jerry

That's great Ebm, I am not surprised..I am sure the frequency extension and effortless ability of the Q3 to move air made a tremendous difference...Enjoy the new system..

That's great Ebm, I am sure the additional extension and ability of the Q3s to move much more air is adding to your new found enjoyment...congrats and enjoy the music
