If it is a stand-mount, Mike should negotiate with Alon for me to take the Munich demo pair .

Probably a long shot, but hoping for a powered version.

Thats great!

I thought the video was frustrating. I keep thinking, show me the F!@#ing speakers ....

I really could not tell if it was a new floor standing, book shelf, maybe a top end ultra expensive, or coming in at a lower end more affordable range, etc. The only thing I could tell for sure is that Magico is showing a speaker, presumably new model... oh, on 5/1/2019 ....

Oh, they might have keep my interest a little more if they choose a different background music then heavily distorted pop/hip hop, instead maybe something more inclined towards the audiophiles, you know, the ones that actually buy Magico speakers ....

Ok, call me snarky

You are snarky.

[Randy Myers]

Thank you

Ya know I agree with Randy, had the same thoughts , like what's freaking up with this poor quality video. Marketing ya can take or leave it.

Good point. The last few weekends all I have been playing are my Rock and Metal playlists. This weekend I will play my RAP playlist.

[Ritmo]

Very cool. Let’s see what May 1st brings!

I listen to rock and pop sometimes also. But I certainly would not listen to most when evaluating higher level speakers. I also notice that most of the members of our audio club will pull out jazz or classical when evaluating gear. I can honestly say that I have never seen anyone in the club listen to hip hop or current pop to check out a system though .

Yeah, the video and music sucked. Sorry, Magico, it's the truth. (And yes, in general I like Magico.)

Next time, play a Beethoven string quartet, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring or AC/DC Back in Black as video music .

Maybe Magico didn’t have old audiophile snobs in mind as the target audience

Maybe .... but then again they probably would not have in mind selling many since the Pop/Hip Hop crowd would probably not be buying Magico ....

Next time Magico should build car speakers or headphones, maybe.

Hey give it time. Magico headphones , car speakers you never know in audio.

[Randy Myers]

Hey McIntosh offers headphones and a portable music player now.... so who knows

oh, and a clock

You are correct. Magico's entry level offerings are probably not targeted towards old farts who think the lowest selling genres (Classical and Jazz) are going to bring in a new customer base.

Personally, after visiting Magico and meeting Alon, I think they make their speakers for people who like to hear the best sound reproduction irrespective of music category. I know mine sound great with both Classical and Rock, and the various sub-categories of each.

[Randy Myers]

This thread is starting to turn silly. In my view a good speaker should be able to and usually can handle various types of music. Jazz and Classical are probably the two categories or sub-categories if you will that I least listen to. However if I am listening to quality speakers, showing them off so to speak, and even if it might be popular, I would not play hip-hop.

I would also say that a vast majority of Magico customers do not listen to hip-hop and I venture a guess that a vast majority of the younger folks (again generalizing, but I would say a vast majority of those that listen to hip-hop) have no idea of who Magico is. I also put forth the proposition that a vast majority of these folks would be shocked at the price of Magico, any Magico speakers.

Therefore my point was not to talk down to certain forms of music; I personally listen to a great variety of music. My point was that it would seem to make more sense for Magico, in their video promoting new speakers, to entice those who might actually consider buying them. I do not believe a video featuring hip-hop music would accomplish that goal.

Anyway, it was just an observation on a video that appeared to me to miss the point. Not to down play or down talk any particular genre of music.

I guess you did not understand that I was referring to their choice of music and not being critical of the speakers capabilities.

And my point is that any speaker manufacturer who only caters to the older generations music choices will die along with that clientele.

Certainly don't disagree .

I know my musical tastes have changed over the years.

[kzhtoo]

I listen to electronic music >50% of the time and I own Magico.

Now that's a true statement. The over 50 crowd and some of us in the 60 crowd or older can't hold the Audiophile legend up for long. One day we will be spinning around on the big turntable in the sky

Now that is crazy talk... I don't spin a turntable now but I am going to have to for eternity... gulp

I agree with Randy that any music should be good thru a system.

I think that the vast majority of $25,000 and up speaker customers don't regularly listen to hip hop and even less rap. But some do!

Just like some of us old farts that don't listen to classical. We have always been in the minority. Just like hip hop or rap nowadays.

But --- what is lost in all of this is: a great speaker can play anything - even movies or country or ......... Really good speakers have a niche and play one better than the others.

[Kuoppis]

I find that quite often that either systems fail with the audiophile stuff, or if they don’t, they fail with rock.

And yet "Audiophiles" continue to go to dealers and test perspective purchases with select approved tracks and then wonder why the stuff sounds different when they get it home and play their normal albums. When you test gear play what you normally listen to and buy the gear, especially speakers, that work with your musical tastes. That's why when you use reviews as the basis of your selection process pay close attention not only to the reviewers other gear but the music he used to come to his conclusion.

Rap - Hip/Hop a Minority?? You realize that both in purchases and in streaming Rap- Hip/Hop is the most popular genre. You are spot on about Classical consumption.
