Magico V2?

Recently I heard Magico V2s in a dealer listening room with Spectral electronics and MIT cabling.

In 19 years I have heard engaging systems that verge upon Musical only three times. The other commercial experience included componentry unaffordable to me, namely Kharma Exquisite speakers with Lamm monoblock amplifiers.

The Magico V2 / Spectral / MIT system *with proficient setup* can attain this level with far less outlay. It's more than "worth a listen;" for those on the quest, it's 'required reading.'

Cheers, David

It was not a reasonable or genuine 'audition:' when I heard the M5 it was with a music server unfamiliar to me. Nonetheless, they did not sound as sweet, in a musical way, as the V2.

The M5 may be able to handle greater volume of music, namely operatic scale performance and complex symphonic passages, or fill a larger listening space but I generally listen to smaller scale music.

For that type of playback, the V2 speaker, on first and careful listening, was stellar. When I've heard them again, compared directly with Verity Parsifal Ovation IIs I will comment again. It should be a reasonable comparison, as it will be in the same room with the same electronics and cabling. More to come.

I am in error: it was the Magico *M6* I heard, not the M5.
