Just wondering if anyone has ever listened to these speakers?

I'm disappointed, Seth=L. I was hoping for an in-depth review of your impressions. :)

Actually, I liked the look of the Mini_Magicos.......
<-----not normally into the "bookshelf" speakers, either....

As far as statement speakers go I try to follow the words of the Immortal Sinead O'Connor_ "I do not want what I have not got"

I am disappointed as well.
Seth is usually spot on.
Maybe if he spent less time buywiring Chinese antiques he'd be on the case.

I got the chance to hear the Magico Minis, and there is nothing "bookshelf" about them

Sorry I missed what you said. I was busy buy-wiring my collection of antiques, while being happy, pregnant, and Chinese of course.:)

Did you guys see how much the Ultimate one's weigh, 800lbs. each!! I would need a better floor for sure!:mad:

Seth=L
10-12-2007, 09:04 PM
Certainly would need some extra support.

Those Minis cost more than the B&W 800 series stuff!:eek:

Well at least you saved your money.:rolleyes::D

They beat the crap out of Ascend, that is for sure.;)

Somehow I think $250k for Magicos is a better value than Bose.

I see you have the D4...I spent some time listening to the D5--a very nice speaker. I still prefer my Sierra, but I really do like the D5; it would be VERY easy to live with it.

Oh, sorry, I don't have the D4s.:D

That was more of an "first impressions" than a review.:)

I may be stupid with my money from time to time but these are way out of my league. :eek:

I liked the text "The aluminum skin of the 80 Hz midbass horn is reinforced by 56 machined aluminum ribs for stiffness and resonance control. It is hand-welded by skilled craftsmen and takes 4 month to complete." I say good thing it's done by a skilled craftsmen or the structure would look a little like a heating duct.... Oh wait! It still does look like a heating duct. :p

Took 5 home and crow barred them into by 10'x18' basement. Well, the left and right sound horrible and the center channel is completley blocking my 13" black and white TV. I have no room for the sofa anymore so I'm forced to stand to listen to them, acoustically a bad idea since they have very limited verticle dispersion. I want my Bose Acoustic Mess back. Least I could watch by 13"b&w TV ..:eek:

I was going to pick up a set for $250k ea but just my luck some guys in a white van showed up and had a spare set left over from a job. Managed to get them down to $2500 for the pair. They showed me a real magazine and had credible names and creditentials like Steve and Skeeter from Steve and Skeeters World Of Hifi for Lo Prices.

I really need to marry the widow of a texas oil tycoon so that I can play with toys that cost more than I'll make in the next 5 years.

For the $ they are charging for them they should be able to voice match them to my wife!
