Magico V2 vs. Q1


I currently own a V2 - is it worth upgrading to Q1?

Thanks. I actually listened in the dealer's room. Mids and highs are a huge improvement, but the room was 600+ sq feet and hence it's difficult to judge the bass.

I had Wilson Duette before and didnt hv enough bass in my room (170 sq feet), hence a bit concerned about Q1 regarding the bass...
The dealer in my country would not permit in-house demo...

People who write reviews tend to say along the lines that "given the physical size" the bass is tremendous... I am sure that's the case but it is such a big caveat. I listen to classical 99% of the time - mainly piano and orchestral. I dont need strong and powerful bass but it's important to portray that "weight" in orchestral music - i didnt get that via the duette...

I am using Jeff Rowland 625 - it's working well with the V2.
just to clarify, i was refering to reviewers in magazine - i read a few which says that the speaker produces the best bass among speakers of similar sizes...
Thank you, Stereotaipei.

I live in Hong Kong and I dont think S1 has arrived... I thought about it too given my room is small, so maybe I will wait and give it a listen.

Your room and system looks mightily impressive!!!!
