Re: Magico Titan
I don’t think it has anything to do with the Q series. Isn’t “Q“ a designation or measurement for dampening or resonance? I think it’s a new generation of subwoofers. The Q line is more or less...

I can not afford a speaker like the Magico M9, though I would love to own the M3. In Tokyo perhaps even the M2. I do have the Q3s and think they are wonderful speakers.... -

You should ask your dealer to bring the CH stuff he wants to sell you for home audition in your system. IMO there is no way to tell what will sound better in your system.
