If I went to a Ferrari dealer and "kicked the tires", they would ask me what I am doing there. In the audio world, there are a lot of people "listening" to the Magico that are not doing anything else except kicking tires.

Why the dealers/reps feed those people at all is the question. No one that gets molested by a Taiko Drum is going to buy those speakers. The people in the audience are just "kicking the tires".

The fact that the dealers/reps feed them at all show that they really do not understand their market. Who can really say what these people listen to?

Well, I don't know any Magico morons, but I do know some challenged Magnepan, Martin Logan, Acapella, Avantgarde Acoustics, Klipsch, Bose, Lowther, AES owners and they never have played drum records for me. I do get Chesky, internet radio, Reference Recordings, Delos and other "selected" labels played at volumes that have nothing to do with the concert hall. Very seldom do I get played anything "unspectacular". That I have to bring myself. Almost all of them have iPhones as a main source of music. Every listening experience has fallen apart with my favorite record - Dietrich Fischer Dieskau and Gerald Moore performing "The schöne Müllerin". Gee, if a speaker can reproduce a drum at twice live volumes, why is a piano so hard.................
