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.

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.

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...
Everytime I listen to the Mk2 I have been tapping my toes and smiling and will continue to do so for many more years. I cannot justify the price of a well-appointed BMW 5-series for the S5 2024 when the S5 Mk2 was the price of a Toyota. I realize...
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.

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.

The dealer also regularly stocked the Q-series and M-series speakers as well. With that said, I have not been to the dealer since 2018 and maybe post-Covid the dealer has decided to cut back on inventory.
With that said, I will not spend $50K+...
Well, a few others above haven’t had an issue. I’ll run some additional tests and see if we can make some size adjustments.

No issue here. By the way, this album on Tidal on the version “max” is unreal. Sounds better than…gasp…the vinyl.

Not that I’m aware of and others above are not having issues. It COULD be the file is too large….but I’m unaware of any specific limits. Maybe try resizing the picture (as a test if you don’t mind) and try again.

Definitely go with a pair of 7B3 over a bridged pair of 4B3. The cost is exactly the same and the 7B amplifier can deliver 690W continuously into a 2 ohm load. I purchased a pair of 7B3 about six years ago and plan to keep them until they are no...
I might eventually buy, but not until 2025 and I will need to have a demo before ordering. Unfortunately, my local dealer appears to have no interests in stocking a S5 2024 so potential buyer can listen to it. Back in the day the dealer had S3,...
Now if only our salaries went up by 11% a year we would be all set! In retrospection, I am very glad I purchased my S5 Mk2 when I did because I have decided to continue to listen to them for many more years.
The S5 2024 being a replacement for the S5 Mk2 and S7 Mk2 is an interesting hypothesis. If Magico does come out with a new version of the S7 I am going to guess a price equal to or more than the M3.
Not sure anyone has heard the new S5 yet, except for folks at the factory. Peter told me it’s awesome and has really grown in size. Maybe it’s a replacement for the S5 and S7 in doing so? Who knows?

Given the (almost) $30K price increase from the S5 Mk2 to the S5 Mk3, I would NOT consider an upgrade to the Mk4 if and when it comes out. I plan to retire in the next six years so this purchase would have to last a good 25 years for the ROI to...
Here is a look inside of a Shunyata power conditioner.

I have used two Bryston BIT20 power conditioners for the past six years. They have been absolutely bulletproof and I leave them on 24/7; I only turn them off when I go on vacation and unplug the entire system from the outlets.

Why did Magico switch to foam surrounds in the latest versions (S3 2023 and S5 2024) of the S-series speakers?
Dear Everyone:
As a Magico S5 Mk2 owner I am considering upgrading to the newer version. However, after reading last night I...
The S5 mk2 came out 9 years ago.
Avantgarde’s Duo Mezzo XD was $55k 9 years ago at launch, the new version is $95k today.
If I’m not mistaken, the Wilson Alexia has also gone up by about the same amount over the same time period.
I don’t...
Agree. Magico has improved the speaker throughout with next-gen drivers, larger cabinets for improved bass response, and tweaks to the cross-over. However, with that said a MSRP of $75K is significantly higher than the current list price of the...
With Magico, I can see where the money goes. Clearly.
They aren’t over inflated psycho acoustic nonsense speakers in cheap Chinese cabinets with tiny drivers and a bright tweeter with exorbitant pricing.
