Magico vs the world

Stereo5

As always, what works great in one system may not be as good in another. For me, the Triton 1r's  are ideal. Their high sensitivity (92 spl) and the fact that they have their own powered bass drivers allows me to drive them effortlessly with my modestly powered 50w tubed mono blocks (Cary Audi Six Pacs). Im using a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium tube pre amp and the combination is so musical that I dont even think about hardware anymore. I'm sure there are things I could do to tweek and improve the overall sound but it sounds so good that I'm reluctant to touch anything. I have a Classe 175w SS stereo amp as a backup for when I just want to have background music for parties, etc. Helps keep hours off the tubes. Listen to mostly Jazz and my source is a relatively unknown CD player from Sweden (XTZ 100) which is build like a brick shithouse and pairs up nicely with my gear. Only thing I'm considering is adding a Schitt Bitfrost 2 outboard DAC.  Very, very happy.

J.Chip,

Your description has piqued my interest immensely.  Once the restrictions are relaxed, I will contact the local dealer where I bought my  last 3 pairs of GE speakers.  I have been dealing with them for years.  My wife was in the owners class in Catholic High School.  I am sure he will be doing "by appointment only" within the next couple of months.  Enjoy your speakers, I love mine.

Love my Energy RC-70’s
  dislike treble heavy speakers.

these Energy’s are my grail!

 I love. Them!

I agree with most of you who said they are exceptional speakers. I still remember hearing the m2 and it was just incredible. The only speaker that I can say was definitely better was the tidal contriva g2. But that carbon fiber and aluminum build quality is just so nice.

The Tidal are beautiful loudspeakers, but for me, just like all other speakers with ceramic drivers, are ultimately fatiguing. I spend hours in front of a system mastering recordings, and what may sound impressive at a demo can become extremely unpleasant in the long run.
The Magico don’t jump at you, they are balanced and neutral, and they will take the form of whatever it is you put through them (look at all the different opinions, many are at a complete contradiction with each other). Some will find it boring. Many audiophiles are looking for extra excitement when listening to music. I just want to hear the music as it was capture, it is interesting enough.
