Thread: New SPODS for my S3MK2

Received today SPODS for my S2MK2 - got to say i was skeptical regarding the contribution such a device can make to sound, never the less i ordered them about a month ago.
Arrived earlier today, and took a couple of minutes to replace the original footers with the SPODS.

I can only say my skepticism was gone very fast - surprise, they do work
The sound is clearer (up and button octaves), i can get to a very disturbing volume and the sound is crystal clear.

If you have Magico S series, do yourself a favor, and try the SPODS as they do a great job taking very good speakers and making them even better.

I have mine on S3 for many years and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you all for the kind words.

The advanced Magico spike cost is a direct result of costly materials and a complex production process.
If they were included in your speaker the base price of an already costly speaker would rise up (look at what happened to M series since Mpods become mandatory).

I agree.
If I made a product and put it on the market, I would try that everyone perceived it in its best performance. At least in the aspects that I could control, the ones that depend on me, of course.

Imagine buying a Ferrari with retreaded tires.
And the brand said: tires, each one put the ones they want...If you want performance and safety you sould spend a lot more.

And then you will complain about the high cost of the speakers...
BTW, Ferrari does not put the best available tires on their base cars either. In fact, a base Ferrari comes with hardly anything in it but the engine. They call it "options" which in a Ferrari can cost as much as the base car, LOL

1. Even in Ferrari you have plenty of extras you can upgrade your car with after-market or original options.
2. Cupeling devices such as SPods are great on some surfaces and less stellar on others - let buyers make their own decision and not buy something they don't need.
3 If the price wouldn't be changed, then yes why not. Unfortunately, this is not reality - look at what happened with M series price increase after MPods stopped being options and become mandatory.
