My ALFRs sound better than B&W 801D4s.

They also sound better than the Focal Stella Utopia EVOs.

With the recent plethora of speaker measurement sites, it's been eye opening how excellent sound is still a rarity in the loudspeaker market. I commend Axiom and Bryston for having the gall to publicly publish the two measurements that matter (TL;DR, they're Genelec/Dutch & Dutch/Perlisten rivaling at a fraction of the price).

The ALFRs are similarly good to the Magico M9.

It's been years since I've stepped into a high end audio store, so I haven't listened to $$$ hardware lately.
Here in Edmonton, there's Audio Ark (the nicest audio store in Western Canada for the last 3 decades), Audio 5.1, National Music, and the Gramophone. Calgary has K&W Audio, the others I used to go have all gone belly up.
I care about marginal utility and ROI, so I was never a part of the total addressable market for high end audio. I was too poor to get ripped off by snake oil. I would have been happy with a pair of Waveform Mach 17's though, but you can exceed its measured performance with today's 3 way Axiom tower speaker and a DSP sub.

https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/magico-swings-for-the-fences-the-m9-loudspeaker/That’s a big statement Mojo!! And at $750k the Magico M9 are a touch more expensive. Only a real blind a/b could tell for sure. That would be so fun!! Hambrabi, I haven’t been in a stereo or audio shop in years. My dad and I would go peruse at the mall all the usual consumer brands. I loved it!! The sales guys juicing up the systems to lure people in. Always Phil Collins playing!!! ( it was the late 80s after all!).

I listened to them. On YouTube. Through my actives. Similarly good.
How do they sound through your M2s?

If you send me a video of your actives playing the magicos, then I’ll know how the magicos sound on your actives. I’ll play the video on my m2s as a reference.
That’s how I’ll know if they sound good.
Ha ha!!!

Now you're getting the hang of this audio thing. You'll be giving factual advice to all in no time.
