I go to the Amtrans store a lot but have never listened to the GIPs because they are just too expensive (60k, 180k USD etc). But I think I was informed that these were fanatically replicated Western Electric speaker system concept, but where possible...

Hello!I am very sure the old ones had cloth surround, because there has been some talk about treating dried out surrounds. Among the new ones there is only one with cloth surround. http://www.microprecision.de/6.html Here a link to the ATD remak...

In this case I do not knock the author of the articulate. He is a reviewer, the Soundsate.com level of reviewer, the worst kind and there is not a lot of expectation from him. It is not to mention that where did you an industry reviewer was able to ...

So that's the story. I've never really paid any attention to the Magico speakers. I Googled their name and saw the words "Extreme Fidelity." That instantly killed my curiosity and I did not continue searching. Just anothe...

I read the review of the Magico Ultimate and I have to say I was disgusted. I am sure there are many self-proclaimed audiophiles who took the TAS trembling into their bathrooms like teenage boys with the newest issue of Playboy to drool over th...

Why do you care what Robert Harley, TAS or the people from Magico have to say?Why does it matter whether the reputation of horn loaded loudspeakers gets sullied in some way by these people? No manufacturer that I know of does it properly anyway. The ...

I have quite a confidence that if you meet and talk with Joseph Goebbels or Lavrenti Beria or with Idi Amin then they all will come along like “nice guys”. When I met and spoke with Valin he seemed “normal” as well. Hey even I appear as “a nice guy” ...

[quote user="Stitch"] Sound was really lifelike, true in tone, for 1000 visitors in a cinema with a 2W amplifier....of course it can't be compared in rooms for one owner with pinpoint imaging, but it was a good performance. A lot of listeners scratch...

may be to hear them in this case. While there is actually some Tone, the whole does not seem to equal (let alone exceed) the sum of the parts. Or, perhaps it does! I would like to hear something more rigorous and complex than "the usual" music the...

On Thursday ,trade day a variety of music was being played and you could just wander into the room, it was always busy, for the rest of the show he same handful of songs were played, the demonstration on ly lasted twenty minutes, such was the popular...

[quote user="samuel33"] So i'm wrong...it's weird because he likes only horns and critizize magico mini. [/quote]
I was pointed out but another person to the forum that you refused to refer. The person who acted there was a retarded degenerate who u...

Thanks for input! This is the kind of information I am looking for. My feeling is one driver can't do it all. But audio reviews say this Cube Audio driver is revolutionary and finally we can have it all. As it meets the criteria of no crossover to sc...

[quote user="angeloitacare"] Of course, Avantgarde with their price tag never will be for mass consumption. I offered Holger then to see If I could commercialize his horns in japan, Do u know how much was the dealer price for a pair of trios at that ...

Hi everyone. This being my first post on this forum, I thought i'd say hi and share a little bit about my journey in audio. I have been an audiophile for 25 years and owned several systems starting off with a modest Nad lifestyle system & Infinit...

Rooms are normally booked from Manufacturers or Distributors. Not all of them have a full line, so they look for Partners. Looking for Partners to share costs and/or to present a running System. A Turntable or Digital Manufacturers does not build amp...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Well, after all I was pointed out to the place where the annoyed wonna-be-Magico-owners came from:
http://forums.avguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=349&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=50[/quote]I followed this link ...

Well, I do not know what it would mean. Regardless his “constitutional status” Row’s article is much more informative and much more educational for people who have interest in the MAXXes then the brainless saliva dropping that many industry cheerlead...

I think this Mike is the same guy that is/was an Audio Asylum member that years ago had the Tenor amps driving some of those terrible sounding Kharma speakers, then traded them for some Magico or whatever and now seems to have the Alexandrias... I be...

[quote user="steverino"]Well of course they are Not reproducing a drum at twice live volume they are merely playing a recording of a drum at higher volume. If you analyzed the wave form it would Not be the same, just louder. It would be distorted. Th...

Thanks Romy,I particularly appreciate the advice on the Goto issue, although a sojourn in Japan would be delightful too, come to think of it; in my experience there's no better place for culinary and audio tourism combined. "Local" support in the cas...

Well, as usual, we can read all over what one likes or dislikes....each his own of course. But, we can not read why someone did like or did not like something.Same for me of course, but it would be helpful to offer a kind of "priority" (or whatever o...

Well, there are different Models from Rockport out there .... and I also listened to the latest version Sirius III. Based on the technical specs (heavy 30 kg platter, air bearing horizontal, vertical) I thought it must be super sonically. But when I ...

"Why do you care what Robert Harley, TAS or the people from Magico have to say?"I don't understand why you would even question this. It appears to me to be nothing more that a pursuit of something incredibly simple. The truth! Maybe...

[quote user="coops"]Magico sounded as if the sound was being pushed into the speakers,[/quote]Agree. I thougt shall I fall on my knees in presence of the nanotubes? Where is the crossover point to the Vifa ring tweeter? I have already heard crossing ...

This is kind of even funny. I was told that I need to buy the last Stereophile and to read how the industry cheerleaders vaseline the Magico guy. So I did buy it the magazine.
What was almost hilarious in the magazine was the lost in the slippery LA...

The demonstration of the WE equipment was impressive as was looking closely at how these horns were constructed. The arrangement (originally it would have been mono) was to provide the audience seated both in the stalls or circle with an evenly bala...

Value can exist at pretty much any price, yes. I should certainly have qualified all that with a "before Robert Parker came along", shouldn't I? He of course brings an added absurdity that hasn't (yet) infected audio reviewers, which is that damnable...

I know it has very little to do with the Magico Ultimate, but Romy had one line in the AV thread that deserves to be preserved here, in case the moderators of that forum "vandalize" it:quote: "If we have a dinner and you eat a bowel movement as your ...

There is a test of the 17 cm Görlich with rubber surrond in the new Hobby Hifi.Very low fs (23 Hz) and low sensitivity (86 db). There is a clear surround resonance, so maybe it would be wise to wait for the announced models with cloth or foam su...
