Magico S3 mkII


I heard from my local dealer, Magico is not making S3 MKII anymore.. Has anyone else heard the same?

@henry201 that's great to know. I bought the A3's in February. So if they release a replacement by the end of the year.. my dealer will still be able to swap out the A3 for the S3 replacement. Please let me know if you get more insights into the release..

@ebm part of me was hoping my dealer was wrong.. Magico website still seems to show the S3 MKII..

@chayro thanks! You are right.. it's not like a do or die situation.. The A3s do quite nice anyways..

@chayro yeah, I was planning to upgrade from A3 to the S3 MKII

Axpona 2022, didn't have any updates from Magico on a replacement..

@2psyop think I have seen that youtube video from Jays Audio Lab, where if I remember right, it was the M6's that were left in the dock for him to pick up or something like that.. That's not cool.. 

@jetter It’s not Magico, but it’s my dealer, any high end equipment I buy from them they let me trade for 100% to something newer as long as it is within a year of purchase from them and the price of the new equipment is at least 2X. That’s how I traded the Mcintosh MC462 for a Luxman M10X..

@henry201 thank you!! I do have to say.. Love the A3's.. Simple, Enclosed design, solid construction.. I am a lifelong Magico Fan..

@jetter they are great to work with.. They let me borrow units to take home and listen. I have currently traded the Mcintosh C53 and waiting for the Luxman C900U to be delivered sometime in June. They don't have any S3 mkII on demo and also Magico has discontinued making them. I heard the aluminum extrusion tool that makes the S3 mold has run into some issues and Alon and the engineers are working on a replacement for the S3. The dealer can get me the S5, but that's too bulky and will burn a bigger hole in the bank and I can't get myself to do it.. So I am keeping fingers crossed to see if Magico does do a replacement for the S3 some time this year..
