Consumer Electronics Show 2007

High-End Audio

Everything from speaker to turntables and way beyond.

Has MAGICO has done it again? The $125k four-way Model 6 certainly impressed us, but in a field of Gershwin Black Swans, Sonus Faber's Elipsa, and MBL's 101 E, it has stiff competition this year. Not to mention the gentle giants from Ray Kimber, which easily wins in the category of best sound over 2,000 pounds.
