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.

200,000 gbp = $279,000 usd.
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.

Jay has his work cut out for him :-)
I think that owner found the end of the rabbit hole. Half his luck, many don't get there.
You can save some coin - there's a pair on Audiogon!Quote:

magico m6 is like big foot... you hear about it everywhere, but how many of you all have actually seen it in person??? not many...
I agree it sounds great, but there is something about soulution that just doesnt seem to grab me. Maybe i need to actually own it to really understand its strengths.Quote:

I spent two days auditioning it.Quote:

The Vandersteen 7 Mk2’s are a much better fit for my room plus I really love their organic presentation.Quote:

And there’s always that little detail. :)Quote:

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.
Sure, that sounds different [emoji3].Quote:
