That outrigger definitely looks like an M line product tease - Qpod in a tripod configuration. You're probably right with the 5, but I'd love an M1 stand mounter or M2 similar to s1...maybe with tweeter, mid and add a single bass driver. But the M2 doesn't make sense so close to the release of the M3's.

I suspect an M2 would compete with the S7, and create confusion in the product line. Just thinking out loud here.

**MRJAZZ** · April 8, 2017, 10:29 PM

Probably a M5. Will use 3 x 10 inch woofers, essentially a more refined M PRO. MSRP 150 k.....

Cheers......

There already is a Magico M5.

Remember the $89K speaker that was replaced by the $60K Q5?

**nicoludio** · April 9, 2017, 03:32 AM

M5 Mk 2 then

**Elberoth** · April 9, 2017, 08:23 AM

They will sell it as 'the new M5' ... just as BMW advertises the new M5 every 7 years or so.

**Try1256** · April 9, 2017, 08:30 AM

Great event Mike! Great bunch of folks from Suncoast Audiophile Society too. Had a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone.

Nope. It will be an M7 or M1 stand mount

Great event Mike. Enjoyed talking with Peter and learning so much about the Magico speaker history, construction and design philosophy. I had no idea even though I'm an owner.
Peter also reinforced the importance of PRECISE speaker placement. I was from the close enough, looks about right school of thought ! On my way home I stopped at Home Depot and purchased a Laser measuring device and a bubble level. Found out that I was off by quite a bit. The sound qc went up a notch or 2 implementing his sugestion.
Thanks for hosting this really really nice event and the delicious goodies were the icing on the cake literally!

Congratulations, looks like a great place to listen. Not too many dealers, anywhere around the world, have that.

Is this Wilson troll will continue to tarnish every Magico thread running? What do we do? Ignore him? Start another useless sludge fight??
Give him a taste of his medicine on the Wilson forum??? The poor guy, obviously, can’t help himself...

I'd ban him for an offensive username alone, but I don't want to be accused of stacking the deck. I think there's room for everyone and their preferred flavors.

I do think Magico has left them in the dust with respect to driver technology, but that's my biased opinion.

I'm only addressing the name use in my post. If they show the M1 or M7 in Munich, sooner or later, the M5 will follow.

Sounds as if you have put on another fine event at your store. Congratulations.

Thanks. It was a great time. ~40 in attendance.

I see where you're coming from now. I completely agree with your above comment. I just think Alon will want to wait a bit longer to protect M Pro owner's investment and faith in the company by delaying an M5 for a while longer.

So, I state a fact that there already is a Magico M5, and I'm a Wilson troll....LOL

Guess you can't handle the truth.

Once again as I have posted on this forum, I don't own Wilson or Magico speakers.

BTW, there's a pair Magico M5s for sale on Agon:

I didn’t see you posting this fact on the Wilson forum:
Wilson Alexandria X2 for $60,000.00
( https://www.audiogon.com/listings/fu...340-madison-fl ).

Troll or not, some manners will do you (and us) good (and yes, you can start by changing your username)

**Mike** · April 9, 2017, 04:05 PM

Now I'm thinking M1's. Mmmmmm.....M1's.....

**PeterA** · April 9, 2017, 06:26 PM

Mike, do you think a floor standing M1 or stand mount M1 is more likely? Could be called the M Mini, curved baffle, curved sides, on a stand just like the Mini 2.

Ha ..! You hope ,

Peter was talking and explaining the Mk2 as fast as he could , in case MK3 was unexpectedly announced....
