I have said this about all the Magico's I've heard other than the M1 I think it was. I too agree that many are told that this is what music sounds like.
That's really interesting, @cstooner , because when I posted my S1 Mk II review I got nothing but hate mail. You and @prof are the first who have shared my experience.
Of course, to your own ears be true, you should buy what you like, but I thought it curious that during the Magico demo they allowed voices and piano for only a short period.
Best,

E, most think I"m a Vandersteen shill, so I have tried to stop posting my personal feelings on speakers since I feel too many companies tell folks what is correct. They demo with only songs that show their gear in the best light. Some take advantage of the net adn sell direct. They give GREAT deals to a specific number of posters and then inundate the sites with 'review's of their gear. Many know these companies well.
IT's all good. As you said, we all hear differently and like what we like. I have a couple of good friends who sell Magico and make a nice living off of them. They don't own them for their personal rigs though.
Peter is one of the best salesmen in the business. He helped build the Krell name to what it was and is doing the same at Magico. Nothing wrong with that.
If this is your favorite color, go for it. If not, there are a few out there who have made different trade offs that some will like better (like me). As long as we are discussing all of this and buying, we can keep our hobby going forward. :) Pete
