Greetings Sharks,
I was down at Magico yesterday picking up a Q-Sub (yes, lucky me), and i guess my timing was really good. Alon Wolf asked me if i'd like to hear the M3 prototype (he kept the lights almost pitch black. the crossover was proprietary and external on a board).
I learned that this new M has a tweeter that exceeds the Q7mkII (can't stop innovation).
Coupled to Soulution 711 monoblocks, Berkeley Dac, and i beleive Vitus preamp, i heard what was up there with the most accurate reproduction of audio in my 30 years of obsession to the hobby. Hard to tell if this exceeds the best because the room and gear is so fantastic (as was the recordings Alon played).
Having heard hundreds of systems, i mostly hear flaws, but in this instance, there was no flaw to point to. Dynamics, imaging, timbre, resolution all in spades. I could have reached out and touched the musicians in front of me. All these Occulus Rift and HTC Vive obsessed VR people don't realize that VR exists today in the audio realm. Alon had built himself a time machine and I got on board.
I'd love to hear the Polymer Audio MKS-X (in my house right now and pretty awesome) in this room and on this gear. My gut tells me the Magico's got it beat.
