Listening Impressions
The new Black Magic's are fantastic! This speaker has to be one of the very best out there. They have to be heard to believed. They have a mid range and top end that are fantastic! The bottom end is very very good for a 6.5" driver! The sound is very continuous from top to bottom. Grain free with great sound staging and vary natural.This speaker still stands out as marvel for a two way today. The Critical Mass system 2.0 ( latest footers as of 2/1/2022 are just awesome!)
