Oh, I see you are absolutely correct. I am very puzzled. As it says on the website, the mastering studios relocated to a new location. Maybe there was no room for the old set-up. I was only in the old studio a few years ago. I swear it was all these gigantic speakers and each with its dedicated vacuum tube SET all done up with this precarious looking copper and gold wiring. Everything totally hand-made. Paul had a very good ear and was really obsessed with sound, so I have no idea why he would switch to the set-up he has in the new studio. The old studio was enormous, so I am just guessing lack of space and maybe he got the Magico speakers for free for promoting them?
It not necessary might be correct. For a person who serves with his products the industry need to have multi- horns DSET-driven monitoring acoustic system is very unwise thing to do. SETs, with this dominating second harmonics and velocity-centric loudspeakers are not what users of his products will have out there in the fields. So, I feel that Magico with it’s idiotic hipper-resolution, overly-extended upper range (good for high-speed tape?), soft- suspended drivers that create very characteristics “industry bass” and no lover-mid was very right choice for mastering studio monitors. In studios they hardly listen music but they rather trace sonic bags and register sounds at Fist Lever of listening perception. As far as I might say from Magico small monitors those speakers were made with aim to the preference of very “those-type” of the people – the people who appreciate in audio their beloved “high quality” dissected arrays of sounds. BTW, this one of the reasons why they can not recognize the problem with DSP post-processing of the raw files.…
