Well, I had a crew of 11 for the MBL XTreme install.

But did they all have Suncoast Audio backpacks? Have you had any calls on a possible M9 sale?

We prefer Dora The Explorer lunch pails.
Yes, some calls on the M9’s.

This is not correct. This is a customer installation in Hong Kong.

I would think you would need a dedicated room if you were going to have a demo pair as a dealer? Does Magico have a pair set up at the factory?

Yes, M9 are in the Magico showroom. Easy to schedule a visit. I’d have a pair if they weren’t 1000lbs each. No easy way to scootch those down the hallway like I do now with which-ever pair I don’t have setup. A dedicated room needed for sure, not necessarily a fully acoustically treated room, but once these are in-place they won’t be moved around with ease.

I recognize that street facade. From what I can see it's the World Trade Centre in Causeway Bay, which is where Radar has their main show room. Unless the customer also lives in that building, which would be a surprise as its a commercial shopping/office premises.

No, it is not in Causeway Bay. It is in in Central. The owner has a dedicated room in one of the office buildings in Central. It is not Radar’s showroom. It is customer’s Hi-Fi room. I have visited this room before.
OK, that fits the picture. It's a personal office space in Central. Uber rich Hong Kong guys tend not to live in those buildings.
I think his home is only 10-15 minutes from this room by car. Not very far away.
M9 is pocket money in the Hong Kong audiophile stratosphere. I used to work for one of the top 10 richest guys in Hong Kong. His personal fortune was $4 billion USD, although I'm sure that number was under quoted.

Re: MAGICO M9's
For some reason this morning I couldn't find the Magico forum, so I posted in the general speaker forum. Maybe it was a glitch with my iPad, or I had not had enough coffee.
Robert Harley spent 2 days visiting the new Magico showroom to listen to the M9's. When I visited last spring, I was blown away by what I heard, and I felt for sure the M9 reviews would do a much better job describing the sound than I ever could. I just didn't think the damn Covid would mean a quality review would be a year out. Finally, you can read about them below.

(pssst... amplification is Pilium, when I was there the source was MSB Select DAC. And when I visited I was in the old soundroom, before the latest remodel.)
