Appears there’s something new coming out of Hayward soon

Ins't this the new technology that makes its debut in the Magico A5? The new mid-range driver.
 
I thought it was something new. I’m not following Magico that closely anymore.

Kuoppis, I know you have changed your speakers. I missed the thread sorry. What was it about the Lansche that appealed / how would you describe what is better than the S3 mk2s? Genuinely curious. Please point me to a post if I am covering old ground
 
Hi AJR,

the Lansches have the world’s best tweeter. The Corona Plasma tweeter is really exceptional. Frequency range 1500 Hz - 150 kHz. Nothing else comes even into the same ball park. It is essentially massless, as it consists of an arc of Iight. The highs are ultra fast, super high resolution, and simultaneously very smooth. Nothing like Magico Beryllium tweeters, even though those are also ok.

The rest of the concept also fits my room very well. A fast mid-range to keep up with the Corona, and two 20” active aluminum woofers with 1200 W class D amplification in each speaker. Reaching down to 15 Hz.

The sound is awesome, and not even the largest and best from other manufacturers can match the specs.

They’re called Lansche 4.2.

So the active class D speakers give your better bass than the S3 mk2s. And it is all still coherent

Coherence is great. I love the detail of the Magico bass, but the Lansches are more meaty without being bloated.

Interesting. I am thinking of upgrading speakers (next 12 months) and the logical progression is Magico M3s but am also interested in YG Sonjas but given your recommendation I will try to find a dealer to demo the Lansches
 
Lansches might be difficult to demo outside of Germany. High End is always an option to hear them, but unfortunately that was not an option this year.

If they don’t have semi-active versions like mine, you should try the Lansche own amps to power the low-end.

Bi-amping makes a huge difference. Simple reason being, that the impedance requirements for the woofers and mids + tweeters are very different. Just one amp’s gotta give somewhere.

I've been wondering where on the product cycle Magico might be with the S3 Mk2s. I might be up for upgrading from the A3's, but staying within their size footprint pretty much. If I don't make it to M2s, S3Mk2 is the logical choice. Or maybe within or in 12 mos there will be something new? I'm not the type to always wait for the next thing . . . but I'm not ready now anyway so it's just something to ponder.
