Whispers of a Magico M9 Coming Soon?

Seriously?

absolutely.

the MM7's have exactly twice the driver surface of the M9, and i prefer the ceramic matrix drivers to any metal cone drivers i've yet heard. so far not a fan of metal speaker cabinets either.

the M9 is a tour de force work of art, and it's build quality is breathtaking. as a 'pretty thing' is out-classes the Evolution by leagues. but at $750k to the MM7's $200k you are paying dearly for....exactly....what? nothing that i can see that makes sense.

but performance, who knows? right now i would choose my MM7's. if i ever get the chance to hear M9's then we will see.

i will 100% agree that the hifi world is a better place when companies like Magico make products like the M9 and i celebrate them wholeheartedly.
 
Imagine the logistical effort to demo M9 at a show. Imagine the effort to convince a dealer to buy a demo pair. Imagine the effort to convince somebody to buy in the absence of demo options. The cross-over box does look very Esoteric-like, or SVS 4000 series subwoofer-like.
 
Hi Mike,

The MM7’s are tremendous loudspeakers but I have to give the engineering edge to the M9’s with its carbon nanotube graphene sandwich cones with aluminum honeycomb core and half inch thick carbon fiber monocoque cabinet modeled after the fuselage of a F-35 fighter jet. A stunning engineering achievement in every way. I rapped on the side of the M6’s and it was like hitting a solid piece of polished granite.

Best,
Ken

agree and no dispute, on an engineering level no way that the 2000 layers of baltic birch on the MM7 cabinet is as technically sophisticated as the M9's. but other Magico cabinets in the past have also displayed lots of techie highlights, yet did not get the performance lift from those attributes to please a significant segment of listeners.

i've liked but not loved most Magico's i've heard. but i've not heard a Magico in a truly mature system so i cannot say i've heard them at their best.

the M9 might be the perfect speaker.

Great post Mike! New Tech/New "snazzy" Materials is NO guarantee of a superior speaker or most anything else in audio.
There are so many other factors in play...
 
Magico itself just posted it. Seems official now.

I wonder what the little circle under the tweeter is? A really high frequency speaker? A trademark?

LOL. not sure if you are joking. that little circle is the tweeter. :P Above it is a 6 inch mid range

That was my first thought, but then what are the two speakers above the mid range? This speaker has four woofers? Must be great for RAP. :)

yea, two mid bass drivers :) Magico looking to out mid bass Wilson and Raidho speakers - guess they have given up on their straight line neutrality and gone full into musicality :rolleyes:
 
That’s so funny. M9 is so big, the midrange driver looks like a tweeter. LOL

You like to imagine a lot. How are any of your imaginations about Magico different than the effort VSA/VAC go through when they setup their super systems at shows? Do you think that is a walk in the park?
