Post Subject: the magico ultimo are not the best i heardPosted by angeloitacare-idiot on: 1/25/2007
hi Dominic i made myself the same question regarding the high frequencies in the orphean horn. the reason is probably because this horn has no compression, and the horn length is not so deep, and the exit diameter is 2 inch, quit big. If you read my post again, you will see that my best listening experience was not the 5way magico ultimo , but avantgardes trio. Life likeness and dynamics are unmached. I was at CES this year, and i heard the Duos, and they were in my opinion far beyond everything else i heard there in this aspect. They may not have the delicacy, and not be able to image each instrument in such a perfect way as the magicos, but they reproduce a orchestra, a rock band the right size, not too small, as the magicos do. but there are other aspects to be considered, like the room acoustics etc. Certainly the Avantgardes can be improoved a lot. As i know that Romy had the duos, and the trios, i beleive his implementation should sound now much better than the Avantgardes. Soon i will have a Vitavox S2, and will combine it with a Coral h100 tweeter. Than i can compare with the orpheans. Magico does not use Goto drivers, but Ale's and TAD. I bought the orpheans in november, and heard the ultimos in january.at this site, you will have a picture of the bms open : http://www.assistanceaudio.com/02_bms.html Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
