    Bud your post reminded me of how good the Magico speakers sounded at Axpona 19 being driven by the Classé monoblocks! Seriously dynamite pairing, amazing sound.

    At 4 ohm and 88 db/ w you'd need need massive power to really enjoy them.

    It appears they were playing vinyl when I took this photo and heard them. Perhaps digital would have sounded better.

    Rockports are definitely nice, I owned the Aviors I before

    I don’t think I gave it as much a chance as I should’ve

    I have not heard tidal but that’s like next level
