Magico ASub review

Everything sounds really good, but isn't wowing me. I've heard that Accuphase works really well with Magico. The min is 3. At least comfortable into possibly 2 ohm loads. II loudspeaker Associated Equipment and maybe read the review to see what he said. The MSRP when new was within your range. Last edited: Feb 13, Rick58 , Feb 13, Location: Malaysia.
Audia Flight FLS Esoteric F is another candidate at that price range. Rick58 and amana9 like this. Location: Somewhere in The States. G E , Feb 13, Location: Lexington, NC. Maybe check with your local Magico dealer and see if they have any suggestions that would work for you. GoldprintAudio , Feb 13, Location: Columbus, Ohio. I see they can handle W and are difficult to drive.
Perhaps look into Sanders Sound Systems - Amplifiers. Ilusndweller , Feb 13, Location: Izieu, France. I read post 2 which made me feel they were difficult to drive. Then I looked up the speaker and it was the first speaker I have seen with an aluminum frame that looks totally bomber very impressed! Ive yet to get them to distort with this amp and am scared to turn up the volume higher scary clean at scary loud volumes already for fear of the speakers exploding Thus the suggestion.
Clean, powerful, neutral sounding amps that can power most any speaker. Those speakers look like they would work best with clean powerful amps so I recommended them as they are the cleanest most powerful amps I have experience with. If interested give Roger a call with your questions and he will answer them. Network Ultra Audio -- Archived Article. All told, each amp contains a staggering 36 output transistors, all bipolar.
Run at full output, the transistors would be capable of a combined W, but unlike the rest of us, these bipolars are not required to work that hard. The output impedance is negligible, the distortion vanishingly small, Innersound claims. The circuit employs neither global feedback nor feedback in the output stage.
Each monoblock is of modest dimensions, weighing a mere 45 pounds apiece. Why so much power? Why so much available peak current and voltage? To answer that question, we have to take a closer look at the practical problems posed by the typical electrostatic speaker. The first problem is how to extract bass with extension, weight, dynamics, and slam -- the same problems many have with planar designs.
But to the extent that the criticism applies to electrostatics and planars, it applies as well to most modern single-driver horn designs. If bass-reproduction problems are not unique to electrostatics, other problems are more nearly so. Whereas dynamic speakers present basically resistive loads, electrostatic speakers are mostly reactive. As the signal changes polarity, an electrostatic sends the signal back to the amplifier, inducing instability.
In contrast to many dynamic loudspeakers that present essentially flat impedance loads to an amplifier, electrostatics act like capacitors in that their impedance varies with the frequency of the musical signal.
The lower frequencies present very high impedance to an amplifier, while the higher frequencies present an impedance that can dip below 2 ohms. The problem, however, is not unique to electrostatics, as any owner of the original Apogee Scintilla knows.
As impedance drops, an amplifier must provide increasing amounts of current. Ive never heard or even seen Magico speakers but am impressed with their design. And materials, this is the most "materials sciency" speaker company I have encountered.

You could purchase a used set of Parasound Halo JC-1 mono blocks for between 4 and 5 grand. They will give you plenty of grunt for driving those Magicos, and you'll still have money left to buy a preamp. Here's a link to the review by Stereophile.
Parasound Halo JC 1 monoblock power amplifier. DPM , Feb 13, Location: Chicago metro, USA. ThorensSme , Rick58 and Morbius like this. Location: Boston MA. Tullman , Feb 13, Location: Hong Kong. I picked up the Wyred4Sound mAmp monoblocks instead.
This may be a much less expensive option and put out watts into 4 ohms 3-ohm stable. The JC 1 is 1 ohm stable, however. Still, unless you're playing stupid loud - I might opt to put more money into the preamp side of things for superior sound quality and look for the less expensive power in class D. Wyred4Sound sells much more powerful amps than my mAmps and are stable to 2 ohms. There are of course other acclaimed class D outfits but the ones at dealers have markups.
Wyred for Sound got me the amps in 3 days - shipped from California to me in Hong Kong. Nicely built little amps with a bucket of power. They're a lot better than when I encountered them many years ago. The JC-1 also requires the possibility of adjusting your home electrical system - which is a pain in the ass.
Class D is eco-friendly. Unless you have something to compensate for there really is no need for lb amplifiers anymore. If you can get over the size and the reputation that Class D has it deserved it IMO but no more then give it a whirl. Some class A amps are an exception like the Pureaudio One - but as good as that amp is - it probably won't like Magico. Link Power Amps. Richard Austen , Feb 14, Rick58 , Feb 14, Location: Seattle.
IMO Magico needs some warmth to balance out their sound. They sounded best to me with Mcintosh. ThorensSme , Feb 14, You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page.

Magico’s $750K M9 speakers stand over 6 feet tall, look intimidating as hell
Since then, he and his team have created a wide range of award-winning loudspeakers. The Mini and Mini II set new standards for neutrality, resolution, dynamic range, frequency extension, and musicality in compact speakers—and they did so not just by upping the ante on the way enclosures, drivers, and crossovers were built but also by upping the ante on the science that speaker manufacturers brought to bear on designing enclosures, drivers, and crossovers. To some, that might seem cocky and arrogant of the Magico people; a brand should spend decades working its way up to hanging out with the best. Unfortunately no other words will do to describe how I feel about the Magico M5. Not only has it redefined an entire genre of speakers for me, it has carried me substantially closer to the absolute sound. When you first listen to it, the Q5 may also sound uninvolving because it has little or no personality of its own. But in a loudspeaker, that's what you want.
Magico A3 floorstanding loudspeakers

Movies place huge demands upon a loudspeaker, from alien invasions to a pin dropping, from a thunderous soundtrack to a gentle kiss - but the most important function is the accurate rendition of that most recognizable of sounds, the human voice, most of which is anchored in the middle of the screen. This elegant loudspeaker builds on the foundation laid by the S5 and entry-level S1. In common with all Magico creations, the SCC has been designed using advanced computer-aided technology along with our own customized software to minimize diffraction effects and internal resonance, while determining the ideal damping requirements. Meticulously crafted from inch diameter extruded aluminum with half-inch thick walls similar to the S5, the curvilinear enclosure of the SCC provides the rigidity and mass necessary to ensure optimum performance from its four-driver, three-way acoustic suspension enclosure.

Magico’s Newest Loudspeakers Are 6 Feet Tall, Menacing as Hell—and $750,000
July Everything about them fascinates me, and particularly that they come in all shapes and sizes, and that no two models look identical or sound exactly alike. That makes for a never-ending range of possibilities, with always the potential for surprise. The only frustrating thing about loudspeakers today is that sky-high prices are not only becoming common, but often defy common sense.
Magico speakers and ??? amplification?
The technocrat loved the engineering. The Magico fans found their new entry-level to high-performance audio. Magico are world-renowned for making some of the most exhilarating, entertaining and dynamic loudspeakers available. Now they have managed to achieve the impossible — The beautiful Magico A3 has all the Magico DNA and sound quality, but at a more affordable price point. Here at The Audiobarn, we are delighted to be able to demonstrate this exceptional loudspeaker — be it with Naim or Devialet amplification, it is sure to win hearts as well as minds.
Magico Ultimate: The ultimate $600,000 speaker for the .001 percent
The original and current Ultimate speakers share the same "horns," the megaphone-like pieces that sit in front of the drivers, but the new speaker has redesigned drivers, crossover networks, and amplifiers. The form-follows-function "Blade Runner" aesthetic won't appeal to buyers with traditional tastes, but Magico's line of box speakers is certainly more conventional looking, and affordable. The Ultimate speakers are so rare no U. Magico doesn't have a warehouse with stacks of them waiting for customers -- no, when someone shows an interest, Magico builds a pair. It's a five-way system, each pound speaker has four horns, and the drivers are custom-made in Japan.
In that period other superb dynamic transducers have come and gone. Only the M3 has remained. After this, I will talk about how the M3 differs from its predecessor and how those differences affect its sonic presentation. Since then, Magico has gone from titanium-sandwich drivers, ring-radiator tweeters, and stacked-birch enclosures to nanotech carbon-fiber drivers, beryllium dome tweeters, and massive aluminum enclosures to what has become the current M Series platform of graphene carbon drivers, diamond-coated beryllium dome tweeters, and carbon-fiber-and-aluminum enclosures.

MAGICO loudspeakers employ an impressive array of esoteric materials and advanced manufacturing processes to craft speakers that are both incredibly accurate and immensely involving on an emotional level. I have yet to hear a speaker that captures more of the subtly and nuance of the recording while at the same time conveying the intent and emotion of the music. Simply put, MAGICO speakers communicate the musical event without addition or subtraction of information — exactly what a speaker should do. I want to explore what, for me, is just one of many important aspects of performance that makes these speakers so special. Second, elimination of cabinet resonance is of crucial import, and something not so simple to control. This creates sound waves that are re-radiated into the room. Though these emanations may not be perceived independently, they certainly do contribute, in a negative way, to the full sonic picture.
Magico was created over two decades ago for the sole purpose of leading a no-holds-barred assault on what is possible in contemporary loudspeaker design. Inspired by the unique vision of industrial designer Alon Wolf, every Magico speaker is designed against the standard of perfect audio reproduction - live music. Magico employs highly trained craftsmen, technicians and machinists. These employees are highly specialized and dedicated to their specific craft, allowing Magico the capabilities of translating ideas and concepts into designs as well as fabricating prototypes, and manufacturing the whole product without outsourcing.
Thanks for a lovely society.
