For $9800/pair, this speaker will set a new standard for performance below $10k. A true Magico speaker through and through for $9800/pair. AWESOME!!!
I’ve ordered the first two pairs.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
WOW! This is a perfect high end/high performance speaker built in the USA (I assume?) at the right price and at the right time. This will bring new and younger audio customers into high end and now into the Magico brand.
This will be their best seller by far.
Wilson and YG are you listening?

Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
DEFINITELY built in the USA.
Alon is so excited about this product, you have no idea. He kept saying “and it’s a true Magico through and through”. The tweeter is the same SIZE (28mm) as the M Pro/Q7 mk2. Graphene woofers. Aluminum frame. Amazing!!
Specs are great too.

Good to hear its built in the USA. Looks like you get the diamond tweeter when you step up to the S line but, still at this price for a Magico...
Frankly, I think their high end US speaker competitors (Wilson and YG) have to eventually build an answer to the A. The Sabrina is 16K and sounds colored next to a Magico and YG. YG is starting at 24K wow ..
Good for Alon and the team at Magico.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
With those specifications and price point Magico will need a bigger production facility to keep up with the demand for these.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
As I stated before, Magico is about to wade through a crowded market of PSBs, Monitors, Dyanudios and B&Ws. Wander at what price point the bookshelf will be? I am guessing at $5K (same as Dynaudio Confidence 20).
Can't wait to demo, smart business move on Magico's part. Hope they have the production capacity to handle the volume that 's sure to come.
Great use of paid for R&D Q technology.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
Mike,
This will be amazing for the audiophile community and Magico. It brings Magico within reach to many more people. With its driver combination I do see it taking it a significant bite into the sales of the S1.
Looking forward to its release!

I never take speaker specifications seriously, and what is missing is how many dB down the A3 will be when it's reproducing 22 Hz. My NOLA KOs claim "effective" response to 25 Hz. I don't know what the hell "effective" means in this application, but I can promise you that any bass response from the KOs at 25 Hz is many, many, many dBs down from flat.

From the data sheet below it appears the tweeter and mid are in the same enclosure. I bet the square enclosure is easier and less expensive to manufacture. Might have to think about these as an upgrade for the fronts in my HT/spare stereo system. The cost is the same as my Aerial Acoustics 7 fronts. That is who they have to beat at that price.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
This is super interesting. Looks like a V3 in a Q body (with Be tweeter) at 1/3 the cost.

You mean no “bubble” midrange enclosure (There is no such thing as a 3-way, in a box, dynamic loudspeaker without a separate midrange enclosure/compartment, the speakers will not work properly).

The S3 enclosure is still much better from the acoustical point of view (less diffraction on the outside, less internal stading waves on the inside) plus it has the S3 has the bubble shaped mid-enclosure.
The S3 mk 1 should sound better still on paper, but you know how it is - you have to listen first as there may be some other advancements in driver design we do not know.
The A3 Be tweeter is different from S3/S5 tweeter as it is 28mm in diameter (same as M3), which suggests it is build by Morel.
I think Magico will do very well with this speaker. I'm actually amazed they were able to price it so competitively.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
A great move by Alon and Magico. Prices have continued to go up. There is a real opportunity for speakers in this $10K price point.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
I am very glad to see that Magico is offering this speaker at a price that will appeal to much larger audiences. It will compete very well against the B&W 803 D3. I do find it odd that the A3 has better low end frequency cutoff (22 Hz) than the S3 MKII (24 Hz) or the M3 (24 Hz). The black brushed aluminum finish looks very elegant. Maybe in the future the brushed finish will become options on other speakers as well.

"SRP US $ 9,800.00/pair - Black ONLY Brushed Aluminum Finish
Ship date: 1st Quarter 2018"

When you start customizing, it gets much more expensive --> fast. Buy supplies in bulk....stick to one color....
I'm not saying it won't happen in the future, but right now it's black. Frankly, that's the most popular by a long shot anyway.

Rest assured the A3 will, objectively, be a better speaker. I don’t see Magico putting out a basic Scan-Speak kit and getting away with that, Magico fans are quite demanding ;)
The speaker you want to compare it with is the Focal Sopra, that is a worthy contender, albeit more expensive then the A3.

I pressed “like”, but did not mean it - unfortunately I cannot erase it. But point my is, I absolutely and fundamentally do not agree.
2 mHz in the written specs in the low end should make the A3 a better speaker? You are a smart and knowledgeable person related to hi-end audio, but that statement is just outright nuts [emoji3]. Pls have a look at the overall driver specs.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
Hello everyone!
We went and listened to the pre-production speakers, and I am very impressed! The A3 is a really excellent speaker at it's price point. Compared with several other speakers in the sub $15k range, it is fenomenal.
For me, I very much like the realism, natural presentation and clear, controlled bass of the A3. If you are thinking of buying any speaker in this price range, you should wait a few months and listen to this one. Very exciting!
As a side note, it looks better in person than it does in the photos.
thanks,

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
From SoundGlobal-
When Alon was giving me his shopping list of what the A3 had to have for it to “still be a Magico,” he added one thing at the end that I haven’t mentioned yet -- that it had to sound better than any speaker at that price from any manufacturer, no matter if that manufacturer happened to be five, ten, or 100 times Magico’s size. In many ways, this is a brand-new world for Magico, because they’re not just up against boutique speaker makers anymore -- they are competing against the world’s speaker-manufacturing powerhouses, many of which have been making sub-$10,000 speakers for decades and know how to make them sound good.
Good point, going up against Dynaudio,PSB and B&W.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
This line looks like a real winner. Based on the driver technology and the solid as hell cabinets Im sure it will perform at or higher than the competition. Its a great time to be in the market for a 10K speaker set. I really liked the Paradigm Persona 3f, but sometimes the highs sounded a bit harsh to me and weak on the lower end...hopefully these Magicos can deliver that amazing soundstage without the harshness and better bass.
I had heard that they are making a center channel for this line as well...does anyone have info on release date for that? I have a combined HT/Music room and these would be a great upgrade.

Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
One interesting thing is A3 uses 1.1" pure beryllium tweeter, same dome area as diamond-coated 1.1" beryllium tweeter in M6. Up until M6, different variations of Magico tweeters in Q, S and M series have always been 1" dome.
Magico said A3 tweeter is purpose built for A series.

Magico seems to have moved away from stand mounted two-ways since the Q1. Considering that the Mini basically launched the company, I'm curious to know why they have not developed an S Mini or M Mini. Perhaps in time. An A Mini might be very nice, but I would like to see a very high quality, no holds bared design in their reference M line. It would be frighteningly expensive, but there are a lot of small rooms which would benefit from a super high quality Mini. I think the real issue is how could they sell an M Mini that costs more than an S3II? I chose the Mini II over the V3 at the time, but I don't know how many other people made that same choice.

An A Mini might be very nice, but I would like to see a very high quality, no holds bared design in their reference M line. It would be frighteningly expensive, but there are a lot of small rooms which would benefit from a super high quality Mini. I think the real issue is how could they sell an M Mini that costs more than an S3II? I chose the Mini II over the V3 at the time, but I don't know how many other people made that same choice.
I think that is an absolutely fair proposition. If your room just physically cannot accommodate stand-mounts. I also have that in one location.
