After this thread, I went ahead and read about Magico. One interesting thing the designer mentions is about screwing the drivers to MDF. They ultimately become loose. But the whole Magico frame itself is bolted together. Wouldn't these bolts become loose too ? Anyways, the idea of an inert enclosure has always intrigued me as well. And I have looked into Egglestonworks speakers and enclosure less speakers like the Magnepan and Martin Logans. China has helped reduce the cost of cabinet manufacturing and I think these MDF based speaker prices have gone down or you should not be buying high priced versions of them either. I think this is where Magico is positioning itself. A real high-end model, it is the same technique premium for the last mile performance. Back to good deals, I think KEF and Focal are good because they are able to do some R&D because of their market share/volume. B&W is still high priced. As for me personally, I am eyeing the Magnepans as the smallest one on the wall I have now in the bedroom sounds very 'real' compared to any other speakers I have had (PSB, Paradigm, Silverline and even my current Newform Research).
