Has any one heard Magico Speakers?

And I'd like to know what you think of their performance at low listening levels.

I know wsalm...oddly there is another 5 feet from my listening position to the back wall as well. Odd set up, but have to live with for the time being.

Point of information: you don't have to spend 20+k for a heroic two-way to get musical gestalt! There are others out there for less than half that cost that offer more and are less demanding of the associated equipment. Finally some are taking notice the two-way done right gets closer to the original recorded event via simplicity of design and paying attention to details.

Says me!

I heard and was awed by the Magico Mini at CES. With a huge soundstage, crystalline clarity, and that elusive 'close your eyes and you are there' quality that I'm sure other manufacturers must all shoot for, and mostly miss.
I'll not purport to be a qualified judge of whether or not they're worth $22 large, but I'll admit that is a little out of my budget.
I did find a speaker that I could afford that posessed these same qualities, and the measurements to back it up: the BRSE HR-1 (www.BlueRidgeSoundEng.Com). They are an even younger company than Magico, but just as on the ball. That they have created somthing that I believe can actually compete with the $22,000 Magico Mini for $20,000 less is flat out amazing.
I don't know that I'd go so far as to say that those of you ready to plunk down $22 large on the Magico should buy these instead, but I will say that those of us without $22,000 to burn are no longer left out of the truly high-end.
The guys at BRSE are straight-up too, they even mention the Magico Mini as an excellent speaker and suggest that anyone with $22,000 to spend go give them a listen. They say nothing negative about it, only praise.
Perhaps these guys aren't quite sane, praising other speakers and selling theirs at rediculously low prices, (see current Audiogon auction) but it doesn't matter to me if they get thrown in the loony bin, I've already got my pair and I love 'em!

Wslam,
I can say I am interested and intrigued by the Magico speakers. Maybe I can make some type of arrangements to audition the Mini's. Who knows, maybe they will be part of my line-up someday in the not too distant future.
