I knew it was Star Trek related!
I’m more of a Guardians of the Galaxy kinda guy.

I am all for tweaks, but that magic tower is too much for me even 
I can finally tell my wife “here is a $1k+ snake oil”, but I had feeling she would tell me “so were that last XX fuses you bought”.

I heard the effects of turning a Magic Tower off at Axpona. It wasn’t subtle.

Let us know how it works in your system.
You are rigtht, I have tried stranger tweaks that worked. So, I should not rush to judgement, and it probably works too. 
I downloaded the app and it finds the tower. I activated each of the eight “scenes”.
I hear no change whatsoever. Snake oil!

Are you going to dismantle it and see what (if anything) the connected app is actually doing to it?
If nothing else you could hack it to do something entertaining

It is a plastic box with usb 5 volts in and a ground terminal. (I haven’t bothered with that yet)
It has a Bluetooth receiver in it that the app connects to. The app “controls” what it does or doesn’t do. Right now it is firmly in doesn’t do mode. I am not interested at all about what is inside. Probably a strip of paper with the words “HaHa Sucker!”
I moved it to the center of the back wall where it is supposed to be. I’ll see if that makes a “difference”.
Perhaps it takes 200,000,000,000 hours to “break in”.
Oh wait! Oh my God! WoW!

There’s something to be said about something costing $600 generating so many words.
There’s something… I just don’t quite know what it is… yet.

Something’s at the edge of your mind
You don’t know what it is
Something you were hoping to find
But you’re not sure what it is
Then you hear the music
And it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talking
Says the things you want to hear
I’m young, I’m wild and I’m free
Got the magic power of the music in me

Long live snake oil. Much of our commerce and psychology is dependent on it.
Without snake oil the acronym BS, the word huckster, storage facilities, budget deficits, beauty products, political promises, impulse buying…would mostly disappear. Advertising hyperbole would become historical artifacts.
Audio prices would drop big time. Many products would die.
Happiness and conspiracy theories would be challenged.

Love me some Triumph…
I think my favorite is Lay It On The Line.
“Don’t wast my time…”
[Triumph’s recordings are another example (to my ears) of 70’s/80’s music made for radio – It is great cranked up at the beach on the portable radio or boom box and with the windows down cruising the car in the summertime.
Cranked up on the “Big Rig”, not so much.]

Take a listen to Suitcase Blues or Petite Etute. You may change your mind about the big rig.
