Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound

Hifimaniac,
And some that are more expensive and sound worse (:
Peterayer,
A big step over the Mini, IMO. I can go into superlatives, but you should just go and hear them. Will be worth your while.
Source were LP, Clearaudio I believe, and a Nagra R2R.
Just got the Q3, thank you. It will be a very enjoyable winter.

Peter,
If you don't remember the Mini getting "so badly criticized", do a quick search here on Audiogon, just to refresh your memory. I spent 2 days at the show and thought the Q1 sounded spectacular. By far the most sophisticated, articulated and therefore emotionally engaging sound at the show (Or anywhere else, IMO). Of course, I do "get" the Magico concept, I currently own the Q3 and the Mini before that. When it comes to Magico, I think that you are wasting your time trying to find out what others think about these speakers. You should go and hear them for yourself. And yes, as an ex-Mini owner, I will tell you that the Q1 are indeed MUCH better.

Yet, you own the FM acoustic…
BTW, I think that the Soulution, which you also own, is beautiful in a Magico sort of way… So is Goldmund.

Bvdiman,
Somehow, I have a feeling you never saw the Q1 in person. I think you may have felt differently if you actually did. If not, oh well. I agree with you about the M5. It will probably get old after a while. BTW, I find the Tidal look to be rather bland. All that high gloss, as nice as it is, does not substitute a "real" design.

>>Guess for speakers I much prefer the more conventional (simple/plain/bland?) but nice and meticulously executed designs for now.

Any better way to describe a Magico Q(:?
