Mastering engineers often have big domestic use speakers. I imagine part of it is impressing your customers that you're serious.But they're more audiophile speakers than pro studio monitors
Not to mention that they're passive .

Why not use gigantic main monitors then ?Mastering engineers often have big domestic use speakers. I imagine part of it is impressing your customers that you're serious.
Unsightly. The mastering setups I've seen are basically a nice listening room like you or I might have, with conventional home furniture etc.Why not use gigantic main monitors then ?

Why not just get some impressive looking dummy speakers made up and just don't tell the client that it's the small Nuemann or Genelec monitors that are actually playing.Mastering engineers often have big domestic use speakers. I imagine part of it is impressing your customers that you're serious.

And your speakers are?but I'm also using aluminum speakers. They are not the “Magico”! Unfortunately
More precisely, aluminum with MDF glued to avoid resonances... so they say.
I must be sincere? I really like. Among the characteristics that I love about these speakers are their neutrality and elegant balance. You can't hear the box, (perhaps it's more a defect of some speakers listened to, not all of them are like that: but it gives you an idea).
So yes, I would like to listen to the “Magico” M7, to be able to hear another aluminum speaker, but high-end and with superior components…
Piega!And your speakers are?
I'd love to get the opportunity to hear these, along with the 9s and others.
From what I've read on their design, the measurements at Stereophile, etc; unlike some other extreme
priced products, these guys do design for the the top end of the performance ladder. IMO there's little doubt
that cabinet rigidity, quality drivers, and the rest of Magico's design philosophies should add up to a product
that offers SOTA performance.
Now the big question is, does the high cost of these attributes and it's price tag
combine to offer a level of performance that exceeds what is available from others at a lower cost? There is a
lot of competition in this speakers size/build area, where is it on the diminishing returns scale?

Piega $5000 pairFinally another fan of aluminum speakers
I can't afford the Piegas but maybe some aluminum Genelecs in the future .
