Agreed. I live very close to a Magico dealer. And I like the speakers. So that’s 2 in the “plus column” for me. (They sell Rockport too, if I were so interested.)
Home demo of Kudos can be possible; you have to work with the dealer, but he is quite good to work with. I home demoed the 606’s from 900 miles away. But we have a long-standing relationship.
I’m totally convinced that there are several speakers/brands I’d be very happy with. Not being able to try them all is just a bit of reality.
This is a very good and complete speaker 22Hz to >20.000Hz
Musically, tight deep bass, very good mid and sparkling high (i don’t know if it is correct english )
