Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
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.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
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.

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!

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
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.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
I wonder how it compares to S3 mk1. Seems awfully close to S3 except the cabinet shape. I agree it's a nice move by Magico to offer these techs at less than $10k.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
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.

This is super interesting. Looks like a V3 in a Q body (with Be tweeter) at 1/3 the cost.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
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.Adam

I expect there will be optional outriggers for a more stable platform.
And strange that the A3 PR has yet to show up on TAS or Stereophile web pages.

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.

I'm surprised they do not offer them in silver brushed aluminum finish - it is cheaper to make than black anodizing.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
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.

Re: Magico Announces the A3 Loudspeaker
I just ordered a pair of Magico A3 speakers. I'm told March 2018. Being Magico, and this price point, they'll probably be GREAT. Siltech

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
