RE: I think Valin's observations are spot on

You may be right. But the guy has his favorites - so do we all. I think you have to judge the statements in themselves without the conspiracy theory hat. Magico and Wilson sound quite different to me - I personally prefer the sound of Magico's floorstanders to what I have heard from Wilson Audio. Here in HK you can listen to them every day and I have simply heard Magico manage to sound very good even with unusual pairings.

At the last two American Audio Shows I covered Magico was IMO easily the better sounding system to me. So from a subjective music listening stance I get where Valin is coming from. Stereophile also takes in a lot of advertising which is why they are kept solvent - no advertising - no Stereophile.

What I have grudgingly learned over the years is that no matter how much I like something not everyone is going to agree with me. And Valin writing a rant line - I can at least sympathize with because we get a little ego driven like "why the hell can't those cloth eared twits hear what I am hearing" - so it goes.
