Magico - a new Mini?

Ebm,

Odd comment, I thought you like magico speakers pretty well?

No I have not, I have just seen a few pictures online. If you read through the tour they state the final product is going to look a little different anyway.

There appears to be a new aluminum monitor from Magico called the Q1

Follow the link below and about 1/2 way down the page you will see a picture.

Q1

Rhohense,

The speakers we are discussing are pictured in the link below.

l like the looks of the Mini II MUCH better. Hopfully the Q1 is a lot cheaper.

Lets stay on topic.

As for Mover your first post was a plug.... get real.

"Hey ,
What happened to the other Magico thread ? "

It seems to have been deleted about a week ago...

Holenneck,

Good fined, statements like this are encouraging "We listened to both. Sonically, the Q1 is better in every conceivable way: more extended top and bottom, improved resolution across the entire audioband, and simply breathtaking in terms of midrange clarity. The differences were not subtle!"

...at least they will sound good even though they are ugly at least compared to the Mini 2.The pictures of the Q series build quality is very impressive and the 5" voice coil on the large Q speakers is huge!

No technical specs yet though. I am curious how much bass they can get out of a sealed speaker this small.

I am sure we will see prices soon since they are on the website. I question how much cheaper they will be. The Q3 is more than the V3...

I bet a Q2 is around the bend too.

I really hate when companies give their specs as "Room Average Response". It is totally worthless (what room???). Test the speakers in an acoustic chamber.... like the engineers they claim to be. If they want to spec in room as well as acoustic measurements that would be great.

Anyone buying in this price range will understand the BS in the measurements and read right through them. We all understand how the room effects the response, at least give us a clean slate to start with. I would be ashamed to put out material like that if it were my company.

Look at the stereophile measurements of the V3. They are -5 db at 30hz but get flat down to 20hz in room... I am very curious to see real measurements of the Q1 to see if they stretched the response.

Other brands give accurate measurements all the time. Revel gives in room and acoustic chamber, B&W is one of the few to give distortion (round of applause) and Thiel is down right honest.... as customers we should expect the same out of every brand.

it just gets old, nothing agents Magico they just happen to be the topic of discussion at the moment.

rant over.

Where did you get that price?
