Not interested in horn speakers. I'm more for accuracy then SPL
I hear horns beeping

That was the thing on Mars Attacks wasn't it?

But the Magico website is among the worst I have ever seen. Take a look for yourself...

The enclosure cost predominates and the off the shelf drivers used do not reflect any unique proprietary engineering and true value. Also, like Wilson, their marketing expertise is excellent.
That sums it up quite well. Flavour of the month helped along by the mags.
Hi really impressive
Unfortunately i have not had the opportunity to listen to them
Assuming that these are the very highest end creation of an already high end brand i find interesting that they have gone for an high efficiency design
My question is ... is really high eff the way to go in the end for the ultimate sound ?
I tend to think so especially when i read of the real SPL during concerts
Many home speakers have just no hopes to give back that kind on SPLs with low distortion.
Kind regards,

$600k, eh? And just a few short years ago they sold for $400k.
And they say Quantitative Easing hasn't had any effect on inflation.
I do like the look though.
...they suck.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
Having a friend who scored some wonderful old Western Electric and Altec horns out of theaters years ago, I'm used to things maybe not being so pretty.
But those speakers had history and character to them, and sounded damn good too. I'll be honest, the first thing I thought of when I saw these Magico things was that somebody tipped two treadmills over.
If someone could afford the $600k for them, I can't imagine them fitting into the decor of a mansion they could afford. And I like the look of some odd looking speakers, things like the Avantgarde Trios, so it's not the missing box that bothers me.
I'd still like to hear them though!
Mansion hey? Like Nouveau Riche Old World Charm?
Time alignment sucks
Made me LMFAO!
Great punch line. Delivery is everything, and you nailed it (because that's EXACTLY what crossed my mind when I saw the pics.) Good job.
Actually, it does remind me of those Jadis horns from years ago. Heard them at Brooks Berdan in Monrovia a long time ago. Back when Tom Carione was their tech (what a great guy he was!)
They were okay, sounding but not for the $.
I have a feeling you're right! ;-)
I see an M on the back, but my monitor's low-rez, so that's all I can make out.
Perhaps a sausage link to some information?
Thanks!
Magico spares no expense, especially on those plastic binding posts carried over from the S Series.
My '70s Volvo 164s inlne 6-cyl engines used a phenolic timing gear set. If strong enough for that I suspect some plastics may be easily strong enough for speaker wiring.

Maybe they are made from some " space grade" plastic ...
Seriously there are plastics and plastics
I was amazed by reading about the strength of some nylon based plastics used for gears
Kind regards,

What does this alleged "state of the art" not made to a price point flagship say about all the other Magico loudspeakers? The manufacturers I give more respect to are those who show a clear design approach common to all products throughout their line.

I don't get out much.
Seriously? $600K? Really? And there are buyers at that price?
PT Barnum was right........
When they first came out they were 'only' $229K.
.
...... and I'm getting my checkbook out as I write this.
In fact, with such great low pricing I may just buy two pairs. ;-)
Uh, oh. I just noticed hat's the 'introductory price'?
Shit, looks like I missed my chance.
Maybe next time.......
and put one horizontal for the center channel of your home theater!

Speakers, like children, croissants and egg rolls, are usually cheaper by the dozen......
Or maybe a dozen dozen!
(A dozen dozen? That's GROSS!)
Nyuk-nyuk! :-)

Yeah I have them in my car, they rock.
No seriously though. I want to!! :)
Made me laugh, but not quite as much as the "they suck" post. That one gets first prize.
In your car.
I love it. :-)
