The problem with Magicos


Magicos are very expensive, solidly built and heavy however there is one problem which the speaker engineers didnt think of when it came to designing the speakers. The woofers in a Magico generate sound from both the front and the back. The problem is that the sound from the back is obviously contained inside that big solid enclosure and after it has reflected around the box, it becomes NOISE. So now you have generated NOISE inside the box which has to be dealt with. The only way to get rid of that nasty noise is to cut a hole using a drill into the back of the cabinet. The hole will need to be big enough to vent the noise. The noise will then need to be vented somewhere far away from the listening environment as you dont want to be hearing that while the music is playing. 

The reason Magico speakers are not universally liked is because they are NOISY. They have a lot of distortion coming out of them because all that box noise comes straight out the front of the midwoofers along with the music unbeknown to the listener. Some listeners will not tolerate this while others may not even realize its there because their ears aren't very good. Hence Magicos, have their fair share of detractors.

All the best and do not be cheated.

Why does this thread qualify for being so offensive as to needing to be reported? That is a scary comment but I guess not so much these days.

Anyway If you don’t like the OP’s crazy theories, just move on and don’t participate. Using the current vernacular, Ghost him or
Cancel (culture)him but don’t take away his right to post what’s on his mind cause you don’t like it.

But for the most part, I find many of you can not and that reminds me of the famous howard stern quote from the movie, Private Parts...”#1 reason why people who hate him continue to listen to him ? Cause they want to hear what he’s going to say next !”

Great quote. Quite timely. 
So why do people by Magico's?  Maybe there is something magic about the noise?  How would you know this to begin with?

Because they have a unique sound. The cabinet is stronger than MDF so that contributes to the sound. But the noise I referred to remains. However that remains in most other speakers too so most audiophiles cant hear the effect of it.

Noise should not be there. If it is not on the recording it should not be there. Most high end speakers fill the cabinet about 50% with polyester or foam. It is easy to test how much sound is absorbed by this amount of foam. The amount of foam inside a typical bookshelf speaker is so small that you could talk right through it.  
@kenjit You might be on to something. I tell you what keeps me up at night is that one of these days someone will try to pair them up with schiit audio. At that point, the noise trapped inside the speakers would get so flatulent that they might explode causing grave injuries to the owners. This might also explain why some Magicos give out this pungent smell when playing Diana Krall.
