Magico M2

Nah.. I´m safe as our importer is never going to get a demo pair.

Why not? He’s the distributor for your country. You would think he would get a pair. It’s really a terrific size, that is IMO, pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the best speaker Magico has ever made. The M3 has more bass “weight” and can fill a bigger room. But the M2 at ~$20K less is really 8/10 of the M3 with some added benefits from the monocoque design. Our M2’s sound amazing in all three rooms. They are playing in the 14 x 18 now as they break in and are as I said before, out plannering the planers. That’s how versatile they are. I’m still in shock at how they filled the big ass room at Munich. The bass was phenomenal the minute you walked in that room. There was no point in the room where the bass wasn’t full, punchy, and could be felt. Defying the logic of those two bass drivers. As I said in my report, the Magico M2’s in the Magico room were consistently amazing - from Tuesday (setup day) forward through Sunday night.
 
I was going to say I know, but just remembered I don´t :D

The reason is, the market for speakers at this price point in Finland is non-existent. I wish the Scandinavian importer would loan them for a weekend to the Fin importer. That might prove to be an expensive weekend, though...

Don´t get me wrong, I guess the M2 would be all I ever want. Might have said that about the S3 Mk IIs, too :D

This is surprising. The Fins (generally) aren’t into music? Not exactly a shortage of wealth in your country!
 
There are people here who would have the means for sure. I guess not too many of them are into HiFi. Or, if they are, Magico is not the first brand they will get into. And yes, live music is a big deal here, so you´d think good quality sound reproduction would be, too. Beats me.

Sorry for hijacking the M2 thread, back to business :)
 
I know technical specs only say so much and many have said the M2s do not lack bass but I can’t help but notice that the low end specs for S3mk2 are lower (by 2Hz - not insignificant) than M2. Any thoughts?
 
I jumped to the end to ask 1 question. $7600 for the mpod base. $7600 for a base. I just sold a pair of Usher BE-20 DMD's for less.

Suppose the mpod 3 piece base is made of unobtainium and worth every penny I still ask why? I do believe there's audiophiles that are in the hobby for the love of music and then there's art collectors. IDK and don't want to offend anyone.

It’s not just a base. It’s really quite an engineering marvel. It completely decouples the speaker from the floor and any excess energy is dissipated as heat through the thick copper rings. The blue material you see in the picture below was created by NASA. The pin is to be used when moving the speaker since the speaker without the pin is literally floating on the blue rings.

Mike I've been watching the series you have on youtube with the B&W/Luxman. Are you making any video demos of the M2s?

I will. I was waiting for them to get some more hours on them.
