I listened to the mini and q in the same room, and I am familiar with full range stats... Ack maybe right about the incongruities of the Q, but I think it's much better than the mini...
Not sure what you heard with the Mini, but to these ears driver integration is superb, at a certain distance. Perhaps the Q3 needs some good distance as well. But I can tell you, with respect to the M3, I actually wrote a while ago (I think) that I moved my head up and down the speaker baffle as close as 1m/3ft away from the speaker, and the integration is just remarkable. What I really like about the Magico approach is their strive to solve problems as their primary goal, as opposed to primarily voicing speakers one way or another as lots of others do. Sometimes, they will make two steps forward and one step back [M3]; others, the initial design is just flawed in obvious ways [S5 Series 1]; but for the most part, they push the envelope. And their drive towards fast - electrostatic - response really speaks my language. Making mistakes is human nature, but I can appreciate their efforts, considering that it has taken me 10 years to voice my own speakers, to eventually get to where I am right now, with numerous ups and downs along the way. I don't really see that same level of effort and passion with many manufacturers, until you go really high in price, very much in the 6-figure $ range. And since I brought pricing, FWIW, over the years, I have come to appreciate that a speaker like the Q3 can be had for ONLY $40K or so, and half of that right now - that to me speaks volumes. Having said that, I am not liking Magico's new pricing strategy, to be quite honest.
Since you brought up the CLX, I would like to ask a simple philosophical question that you shouldn't really respond to: why on earth is that support structure of the panels so loosely coupled, and why does it move with a simple push with the hand - that's not what I call "problem solving", and is a glaring blunder, to use your words.
