Esoteric MG-10 and MG-20 speakers

The MG-10 and MG-20 have recently won a number of citations;

In addition, there is a review on Stereophile and another on Postive Feedback Online;

I've talked to 2 people who have heard the MG-20s and they tell me the speakers are extremely good (to their listening tastes, preferences, etc....)

I just parted with my Spendor BC1 speakers. I auditioned the MG-10 at the dealer and again at home before I decided to buy them. Quite excellent on all counts and nearly all music (I have not played rock). The room is well damped and I play a lot of vinyl. I have tube equipment and anti-cable speaker hookup wire. There is a lot more detail and air from these units compared to the Spendors which I thought quite excellent for a long while.The midrange is close. The most important input is that even though there is a lot more detail the units are not fatiguing to listen to which when it occurs is usually a sign of peakiness in the reproduction. You should audition them in your set up.

I listened to the MG-20 at RMAF 2010 in Esoteric's room and it was fabulous, easily one of the best of the show. Clean, neutral, with great imaging and good soundstage height from such a short speaker. Impressive.

I agree with the above comments and can't knock them but be careful if you are weary about too much upper end detail. These speakers will give it to you and if your electronics are not up to it I suspect they will be on the bright side.

I've heard them many times with upper end Esoteric and Luxman and they were nice.
