Magico/YG

I have had a few superb dealer demos at Goodwins Highend in Boston. Much better than anything I heard at the two audio shows that I've attended. Seek out a good dealer with good rooms and you will get a good idea of what these speakers can do.

Thanks, Powder. A bit out of my flight range.

I may have to wait until the NY Audio Show in April. Cannot buy a speaker this expensive without a long listen. Everyone says show demos may not properly reflect (no pun intended) the qualities of a speaker, but IMHO, neither do dealer listening room demos. So one does one's best in diving the speakers true colors (so to speak).

Both brands will be at axpona. The YG, including Carmel, did very well in the hotel room at RMAF.

Neal, I am in Allentown, Pa. Steve

Thank you all. Appreciate the kind offers. Will be in touch if I am in your vicinity.

Powder1, can you tell me where you are located? I am in Westchester county. Thx.

I have Carmel's in a Concert Fidelity powered system about 80 miles from NYC. I am available weekends

I'm in the Boston area and you are welcome to hear my Mini 2's. I will add that a store demo of the V2 was for me the best in store demo I had ever heard of a music system. I ended up buying the Mini 2s because I found them to be a bit more coherent and balanced, but they are more expensive. They are also built to a higher standard and are better looking IMO. However, the V2 is a great value used at around $9K. I've only heard the Carmels at a show and not in my system, so can't really comment on them.

If your in, or around the Atlanta Ga. area, i have a Carmel system your more than welcome to come and spend a couple days in front of.
