New Magico M7 speakers

[fpitas]

But they're more audiophile speakers than pro studio monitors
Not to mention that they're passive .

Mastering engineers often have big domestic use speakers. I imagine part of it is impressing your customers that you're serious.

Why not use gigantic main monitors then ?

Unsightly. The mastering setups I've seen are basically a nice listening room like you or I might have, with conventional home furniture etc.

Damn
they do like nice

Why not just get some impressive looking dummy speakers made up and just don't tell the client that it's the small Nuemann or Genelec monitors that are actually playing.

Who knows, maybe some do that

If only they published their own klippel results. I’d go ascend before magico for the transparency. Wish ascend did active designs

OMG, Look at the size of that D'Agostino power amp.
And I'm sure it's a monoblock. LOL

 

[Short38]

The video shows that they are monoblocks. There is an entire shelf of D’Agostino equipment. Didn’t have the sound on so am not sure why the shelf is there. Way beyond my feeble brain to understand.

but I'm also using aluminum speakers. They are not the “Magico”! Unfortunately
More precisely, aluminum with MDF glued to avoid resonances... so they say.

I must be sincere? I really like. Among the characteristics that I love about these speakers are their neutrality and elegant balance. You can't hear the box, (perhaps it's more a defect of some speakers listened to, not all of them are like that: but it gives you an idea).

So yes, I would like to listen to the “Magico” M7, to be able to hear another aluminum speaker, but high-end and with superior components…

And your speakers are?

 

[Sal1950]

I'd love to get the opportunity to hear these, along with the 9s and others.
From what I've read on their design, the measurements at Stereophile, etc; unlike some other extreme
priced products, these guys do design for the the top end of the performance ladder. IMO there's little doubt
that cabinet rigidity, quality drivers, and the rest of Magico's design philosophies should add up to a product
that offers SOTA performance.
Now the big question is, does the high cost of these attributes and it's price tag
combine to offer a level of performance that exceeds what is available from others at a lower cost? There is a
lot of competition in this speakers size/build area, where is it on the diminishing returns scale?

Piega!
I discovered them almost by chance, I had them for a few years but didn't use them....then one day....I tried them again judiciously, with a good system...I can't remove them, I put everything else aside...for now; )

I would like it too, but as far as I'm concerned the price is prohibitive.
However, for what it's worth, to date, I've only ever heard good things about all the “Magico” speakers…

Finally another fan of aluminum speakers
I can't afford the Piegas but maybe some aluminum Genelecs in the future .

I have heard several Magico models, and they are indeed very well engineered. But, you are paying a lot for attributes that are simply unnecessary. All that to say, you can get same/better performance for much (much) less. But I do agree, it is refreshing to see some stratospheric priced HEA that is actually well designed.

That's why I find audio shows so fun. You actually get to hear some of these type of speakers. Even if not in the best conditions, but still I find it an attraction.

 

[Pearljam5000]

They sound pretty good on the sound demo on the video
