AudioMachina Stuns Reviewer
The AudioMachina Maestros are clearly and truly the best imaging speakers known to me. Revealing and neutral, they subtract nothing and add nothing. Definition is extraordinary and their level of performance is worth every penny of their five figure price. Will they yield the magical absolute sound? With today's finest amplification and sources, mostly tube I think, you will get fantastically close. With tomorrow's wonderful audiophile gear on the drawing board, the Maestros may hit the bulls-eye. They are a loudspeaker to grow with, to continuously maximize. Hey, that's what this adventure is all about. The AudioMachina Maestro: if you only want to consider the best loudspeakers in the world under $100,000, here's your very first loudspeaker to audition. Check out Robert H. Levi's entire review. GO

“THE BEST” - Jonathan Valin TAS 10/09
“The words “the best” have been bandied about quite a bit in this magazine and on our website (avguide.com) and there is legitimate concern that they are being overused. Unfortunately, no other words will do to describe how I feel about the Magico M5.” -- Jonathan Valin The Absolute Sound, October 2009. What else can we add but come in and listen for yourself! GO
