Magico A3 Series Speakers

[mdp632]

Check out their official Facebook Page.

Some kind of product teaser.

[Mike]

I saw this in Stereophile.

Do I know what it is? Yes. Am I telling? No!

Details will follow soon with an official press release.

It’s NOT an active speaker.

a new line below the S perhpas ? Even passive if they managed to sell it at 10-15k msrp?

do we have to wait till CES 2018 to find out ?

Looks like an S2.

[Paul]

I think they highlighted the “A” for some reason.

Strange that they have been moving away from "Boxy" cabinets. Yet this new one is very boxy. Probably A Series, lower than the S Series?

[Kuoppis]

Hmmm, maybe an entry level A series.

Guess a cost optimized product, as it looks smaller, design is less elaborate and the tweeter is attached only with 5 screws instead of six. Drivers look simpler as well. Difficult to determine driver and cabinet materials based on the picture.

A new cheaper than S line. With the S1 being $12k, I am guessing $10k for this three way.

S1 mk2 is $16,500

Good point about the number of screws. Wonder why they skipped the bottom screw. It certainly can't add anything much to the cost.

I find that interesting too, as Magico typically loves screws (Q7 mk2 has 600 of them).

Only rational explanation I can think of is that otherwise the screws of the tweeter and woofer would be too close. Maybe an indication of different cabinet material or even more likely thinner walls which would not take the pressure of two tightened screws so close to each other.

Magico S3 mk7 ?

Magico S3 mk7 ?

I think it would be about time for a model upgrade - my S3 mk2s should be almost burned-in by now, as I ordered them before the official sales start in Europe .

I think this is the first one in a new speaker line and this model is called A3 and it will cost around 10 000 US$.

[Dguitarnut]

Looks like it has all M6 transducers so it will ALSO be superior to the S5 Mk2.

If so, at this price point. But, now Magico will have 3 lines. Whereas Wilson and YG have one. But, If true 10k for a new pair of Magicos. ..

Good for Magico and good for the high end audio industry if true. It will probably be their best seller by far.

thanks for correction, is this your store?

I never understood the need for major speaker companies to have three lines. Mimmicking Car lines with base, mid and high line. If this is a new entry level line it will take sales away from the S line. A lower price point will introduce more customers to Magico instead of only through Audiogon. Be curious to know what or who (dealers) pushed for this? I have read in the past the Asian market wanted higher priced lines, I wander if this A line was from the European and American dealer wants.

The $5K-$10K speaker market is very crowded.

Yup! That’s me.

Exciting! Should be interesting to see what price points they hit with this new line. While they are headed into a crowded market segment I can't think of many others that share their sealed alignment approach. Can't wait to hear them.

Ask and you shall receive

It seems to retain core Magico technologies: aluminium enclosure, berillium tweeter and carbon fibre mid/woofers (may be even nanotubes or graphene reinforced, but Magico may want to keep those techs to more expensive models).

Still no press release...

Adam, what is your gut feeling based on the picture? A lower end A range?

Nice for a $9800 speaker. Should find a market.
