I had the opportunity to hear the magico ultimo, in san Francisco. After i heard it, i read the article in absolute sound, and i must say that the article describes accurately the sound of this system. The room is relatively small for that big ...

I have written my previous post after reading their remarkably-idiotic page about “values” and noticing a few mistakes in thier “punch-lines”, still there is a further point in all of it. The Hi-Fi companies and Hi-Fi marketing are lost touch with th...

Robert Harley made a review of Lamm ML2.2 with his Magico Q7 loudspeaker of 94dB sensitivity.
http://www.lammindustries.com/reviews/ML22%20TAS%20February%202013.pdf
He feels that “Q7 allows to hear ML2.2 at it’s best”, and the fac...

[quote user="drdna"]Still Robert Harley does end with a statement I can agree with: "Perhaps the low-power amplifier/high-sensitivity horn-loaded loudspeaker approach... is the true path towards creating the illusion of live music in our homes."[/quo...

Sure, Mike, however what I learned with my living experience that that is nothing really valuable in life that is expansive. Anyhow, Mike, thanks for the pictures. BTW, some of them are very nice, very-very nice phonographically.
I was particularly...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]The price is 167,000 Euro I was told. The material they used for bass cabinet at least looked like MDF. Sound was much better than any speaker I've heard in show, expect Cessaro which was wonderful. BTW Marten, Kharma, Focal, Ma...

Hi Romy, OK ill give you an idea: 1. The Vox Olympian. When i first visited, they played gentle music and classic. I was paralyzed by its ability to accentuate details like the touch-sound of piano solos (keys, pedal, hammer, body-borne etc). Or emot...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]So Bill Fitzmaurice and Wayne Parham are perceived by some as experts. So what? How does that impact on what you do? There are many less than competent amplifier designer/manufacturers around aswell. It will alw...

Completely agree with Guy.That's why I don't watch sport in TV anymore and read any audio /hobby magazines neither. I could never understand why Roman again and again bothers with this. Is this because where is he coming from ( a dinner with a frustr...

[quote user="StylinLP"] The thing is, there has been many many speakers like these offered in the last 15 years and they never got any attention. [/quote] You are right that there were many speakers like these offered in the last years but you wrong ...

Actually, it is not about the Taiko drums but about a cultural level of idiot who sell Magico, I had no doubts BTW. If I was speaker maker and my dealer play that crap I would certainly fire the fool. No different then this crap:

Stitch, narrative is very interesting. I never had new Meitner’s DACs. I hear it countless time and each time it was very bad sound but it was always was in context of other brainless people sound and I do not know if ...

I cannot help but burst out into laughter everytime I read one of your posts. Always enjoyable, thank you.
I look forward to hearing the Magico loudspeakers at the show. Do
you know if they can repair teeth also, so I can send horribl...

I read one more page from the Tenor description, before the author begun to talk about sound. A correction need to be made, from the first pages I understood that the amp use 6N6P driver but on the next pages it was not the case. Perhaps I confused s...

Interesting idea indeed and very interesting crossover points. Denmark is generally is very advance country in terms of audio.
The Roundabout people said very little, is anything about their horns. However the is one subject that I do not like in th...

A few days ago in the thread “Who Builds Horns”: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?postID=3226#3226 there were mentioned the Cessaro Horn Acoustics Company from Germany. The company has an interesting model Gamma: http://www.cessaro-hor...

Romy,It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound through the resonan...

I would like to follow up with my initial post. The last nigh I went to NY’s Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center to hear the Spivakov NPoR. I have great sit (Orchestra RowM, center, 3 sits on the left – perfect for piano concertos). Funny: ahead of m...

Yes, the Active Placette would drive headphone, still I do not like the sound. I get way more proper sound when Placette driver my “big” system then what is drivers headphone. I use headphone quite aggressively but mostly for “technical listening” (l...

[quote user="JLH"] The appearance of the Macondo horns is out necessity for purity. As you very well know, the pure analytical form of a horn is a circular cross section. The Macondo horns have virtually no areas of compromise. Size, shape, fla...

I think my new room and new midbass horn will give me an opportunity to play at the NEW LEVEL with a notion that I have been chasing for years. I am taking about perceptual shrinking of frequency response. I need to admit that most of the ugliest...

First thing first. I was running under impression that the cost of Silbatone Aporia under $100K. I was looking where I might get this impression from. I am sure it was a comment at some CES blog but I was looking and was not able to found it. Most li...

It might be not directly related to the subject of this thread but I do feel that it has quite a good relatively. Are you laughing that your Lamm made his new amplifier with a price tag of $126K? Well, think again. Do you remember as the ...

A few years ago a friend of my asked me what I feel might be a perspective product to go in high-end that would do well business wise and at same time topology would be optimized to serve better sound. I gave him an idea of a monitor, coupled with a ...

[quote user="Paul S"]All the criticism notwithstanding, Lamm is clearly one of the most interesting amp builders out there, and IMO he is someone worth watching… [/quote]
Unquestionably, and it is what I do - watching. However, here is where I have ...
