Charles, yes we are friends and if you and your wife are ever in SW FL drop us a line. Perhaps if schedules match up we can get together for a glass of wine, dinner, and to listen to some music togther.

Huge +1 to this....i never understood and get quite hacked off at those who look down their nose at brands that don't fit the fanboy or other subjective personal bias choices,...when they say something immediately followed by... it's good but it's not brand X or Y it is very hard to stomach.

Peter Gabriel's song "Not One of Us" sums it up quite nicely! "....A foreign body And a foreign mind Never welcome In the land of the blind You may look like we do Talk like we do But you know how it is You're not one of us Not one of us No you're not one of us Not one of us Not one of us No you're not one of us There's safety in numbers When you learn to divide..." |

I went from a ported speaker (802d3) to an M3. Bass became a lot cleaner and more visceral. I am a supporter of sealed enclosures.

I just always assume that different people are looking for the sound that sounds best to them. Peoples opinion of what brand is "best" or "better" will depend on so many different factors, that I feel that any answer about music gear, be it here, at a show, or in a store will be different if the two people are sitting right there, listening to the same music.
Gear will sound different in everyone's different home. The type of music you like, and the way you like to listen to music will be a factor on what is "best" for you. Now, I do think that many people can come together to agree is some gear is "good" or "bad". Even distortion (euphony) is desired by some people. The better definition of "quality" I read the other day - If the gear you are listening to does not involve you emotionally, you might need to reconsider the gear.

Charles, I recognize you from the Wilson forum. If I remember correctly, you were or are a die - hard Wilson fan. At one point, you owned the venerable Maxx 3’s, right? I, too, am a true Wilson fan, having owned the WP7’s, WP8’s and currently the Sasha #1’s. I’ve always loved them. But, as you might expect, I’m always looking for that ever elusive audio nirvana, which is part of the joy of this hobby for me. Recently, the question was posed to me, “Have you ever heard Magico?” Truth is I haven’t. It seems the Wilson fan club typically don’t play in the same sandbox as the Magico fans. But after having done some preliminary research, the quest to find out more about this brand grew. So, having recognized you as an experienced Wilson owner and, perhaps, one who has also listened and enjoyed Magico, I’d love for you to weigh in on the benefits of both. Yes, I recognize that there’s no perfect speaker, but your input will most assuredly proved to be invaluable. Thanks in advance. |
