Re: Magico M6 Review
I think the M6 is the best speaker Magico has made so far.
After I heard them in Munich, I was ready to leave the show, because anything I heard afterwards became a bit so what.
I like how Alan Sircom puts it: The usual test-track listing just becomes a collection of music you played during your most recent listening session [because the M6 plays everything very well].
There’s also a nice jab at the end, that this a high end loudspeaker which does not need to look like an oil rig to play well. The design is great, not always a given even within the core family.

Re: Magico M6 Review
Here is an incredible video of an M6 system in the US. Soulution electronics + DCS + Synergistic Research cabling.
Even on a good pair of headphones sounds incredible.

I think that owner found the end of the rabbit hole. Half his luck, many don't get there.

Re: Magico M6 Review
There was a pair in Australia that sold for much much less than that, in a deceased estate. Unfortunately I didn't learn of it until after the fact.

Re: Magico M6 Review
The M6’s are wonderful speakers. Super transparent, robust bass and maybe the best imaging I’ve ever heard. Plus they can really scale. We’re talking about reproducing a symphony at full concert levels. After looking and listening to them for two days, I came to the conclusion that they would both visually and acoustically overwhelm my listening room. The Vandersteen 7 Mk2’s are a much better fit for my room plus I really love their organic presentation.

Re: Magico M6 Review
M6 was a curiosity on my end. I chase what becomes available to me. I also was oversaturated with Wilson Audio sound. It was time to hear something else. I also don't feel that mbl is the speaker to review gear with due to their inefficiency. I needed a speaker that wasn't too easy or to hard to drive. Today it is the M6 and then next week i could be with another wilson.
Right now, as of today, i am curious about the XLF and the von schikert ultra 9. That said, that level of speaker requires the same level of attention as my M6.
One thing i can say right now is that the M6 needs premium fuel. If you take shortcuts, it will make you pay for them.My youtube channel: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...1wNOTpMvfFvzgb
