Takes time to get show reports. Minuets were with VAC. We are still getting Florida show reports! The TAS report on the Florida show only came out today.

Yes, and it does. Room costs (we had 3 rooms, including a large ballroom), materials, marketing, brochures, banners, all the staff, shipping, meals, hotel rooms, flights, etc. Figure on $40k.

Yes.
As with any configuration, it depends on the components used and their set-up.
For a lot less expenditure, installing a run of optical fiber in-between your "upstream" router & music server and "downstream" network bridge or streamer,...
I left Monday. Had to walk on the interstate to O’Hare with other pilots, Mothers carrying crying babies and more for over 45 minutes. It was like an apocalypse.
Protests in Chicago today: 54 arrested after protesters block I-190 near O'''Hare...
Oh I agree with the automatic assumptions that when you retire you need to shrink your house along with everything else. .Must be in some retirement planning script the investment counselors are using these days.
Having seen this beauty in person this weekend, I can honestly say, this should have been called the S6. The dual 10’s (vs dual 9’s) look so much bigger. The cabinet looks soooooo much bigger. S6 for me all day.
Oh and the fit and finish is...
Blast from the past: Was just reviewing my CV, and came across one of the scientific publications I was most proud of working as a Molecular Biologist in Biotech: using DNA “human identity" forensic markers amplified with PCR to be able to monitor...
I guess you didn't read what I wrote. Anyway I really don't care..
Some other FYI; I retired in 2010 13 years before we sold our beach home. I'm over 70. We paid cash for our 3250 sq ft beach home. We sold our beach home in 2023 and yes...
Nobody downsizes for the sake of "downsizing". Something drives the move, heath, loss of a spouse, life events & changes, expense of a bigger home (depending on where you live). And it for sure has nothing to do with music or audio gear.
Mike, I hope you guys have a great show, and say "Hi" to Florian for me. It was fun, informative, and very interesting to meet him last year.
The new Picolo looks like quite the speaker! Cheers.
We have 3 rooms, maybe 4. Debuting the new Auditorium Plus (double sided midrange and double sided tweeter ribbons to match the double sided bass). All new internal tuning mechanism. No tools required.

Might have been easier to understand the price increase if Magico had called the new S5 an S6. It appears to be a lot closer to an S7 than it used to be, on paper anyway.
Or like Benchmark offering optional front plates for their rather small amps to make them rack mount sized.
Rack mount was nice back in the day :).
But, as can be seen, it never really worked perfect for home audio... Nakmichi did have rack...
Buchardt does make active speakers, but the S400IIs and the P300s are passive loudspeakers.
And yes, a quick search on the 'Net can be effective in providing info and answers. 😉
Cheers.
Ah, that's easy. They're connected to my Constellation Inspiration integrated amp's speaker terminals. The S400IIs also have nice binding posts; Mads really went through and used very-high quality parts throughout this speaker's components.
I...
That’s nothing to do with the forum. That message was because you were not logged in. You’re clearly logged in now if you can make posts.

Yes, I agree, and if I may add, your comment is both insightful and accurate about what constitutes...value propostions. Back when I was workin' as an MBB in Biotech, I used to try to get a simple but key principle across to the product development...
Size, as technology moves forward like class D, why build a chassis larger unless its an engineering heat dispersion requirement or to just to look "proper" in a rack. And in doing so the later, the manufacturers would have to pass that enlargement...
