Yesterday, Magico hosted tours of their factory/listening room in the SF Bay area and I found it very interesting to observe an operation that produces what many consider to be the finest speakers in the world.
Magico
Every speaker and component we saw was, in itself, a work of art. Their milling process is state of the art with each finished product flawless and every driver waiting to be installed is something one could almost display in a case. Yes, that gorgeous.
In the lobby they had the Magico Ultimate which I believe retails for over $500,000.
Their in-house listening room is the top of the mountain in my mind and the tracks they played on a new pair of two-way speakers blew everyone away. No pictures or touching was allowed which I took as elitist but after the fact realized they have invested so much in unique IP that I can now see their point.
I'm not sure I'm glad I went because coming home to my system was a depressing let down but I guess it's like having the chance to drive a Ferrari for an hour.
