God almighty... those would make my Aerial 10Ts (with Sound Anchor stands) at ~250# each feel like Edifiers.

Remember, when you are able to afford these, you also have a bunch of peasants to command to position them.

This is true, I'm a team of one peasant. (thank goodness for the casters built-in to the Sound Anchor stands)

But remember, yell "release the hounds" only after they're done moving them and you listen to them for an hour to make sure you're happy with the position.

Found some nearfield frequency response and distortion measurements for what it’s worth

https://audioplanet.kr/2022/05/매지코-m9-측정-리뷰/

looks pretty linear and distortion at 95dB is also really low.
But with a speaker that large I would also like to see distortion at 105dB or more.
For a million bucks speaker it should be able to produce those SPL without any significant distortion but something’s telling me that a 1 inch tweeter wont keep up at those levels…

Amir should definetely rotate these in the Klippel device.

But they're only $750K

In Europe we always include tax

How much for the Center Channel for the M9?

What if you wanna use them as Atmos height speakers? Do they come with a ceiling mounting kits?

Measurement data was excluded at the request of the concerned person

hmm.

 

[Purité Audio]

hmm.

Not that fantastic, bass extension was particularly disappointing especially considering the price the new D&Ds will I expect eat them alive in terms of measurement and SQ.

It's actually an example of a very clean impulse. Noiseangel is obviously angry. Better use of time is looking at this:

You can auto-translate to English.

This is a clean impulse

Nice. Scary camera-work though, I'm expecting aliens/ghosts to appear any moment.

Not sure what the facepalm is for, these are £750k ( three quarters of a million pounds) supposedly cost no object designs.

all that money to have such a big hole in the response at the listening position, there are ways around it but not with a such conventional approach. Once again this shows what should be the way forward in hifi - real world performance, not only anechoic one.

Yeah it’s quite ridiculous. Even for a fraction of their retail price you could get a subjectively and objectively superior system.
But people who buy this obviously have no idea about physics, acoustics and psychoacoustic.
Before getting a few high end subs and room correction they’d rather get monoblocks for another few hundred thousand dollars

Not sure I understand
They lack bass?

They have good bass extensions but it’s worthless if the owner gets huge dips and cancellations due to room modes

Wrap them up and get them in the mail
