Magico M2

Same diameter but my assumption in light of Mike's coment was a different part number. If the same part number, you have a point, but if the change is significant, what to do about current M3 owners?

Simple, keep enjoying the already fantastic M3 and not worry too much

I think he meant what the manufacturer should do for the M3 owners, in which case, M3 mk2 of course. [emoji57] Look how that all turn out for Magico?! Alon is genius.

M3 is now on the market for a few years, why should Magico do anything for the M3 owners, just because a smaller speaker (M2) is being introduced, I don't see the point.

Except for the Q7, Magico has never worked with an upgrade program.
 
Actually, a new part number does not equal to a new product [emoji3].

Agreed, don’t read too much into. M3 is still the speaker to get for medium to largish rooms IMO. If anyone wants to trade their M3’s for M2’s even up, I’m all ears. [emoji6]

Like I said before, I consider my M3’s in my top 5 speakers list and #1 for cone and dome. I just love them.

No one is really suggesting Magico should do something for M3 owners literally. It’s a figure of speech.

Mike mentioned M2 has new drivers, so someone thought newer M3 should also use the same drivers. Then, someone asked what about the older M3 that are already out in the market. And I just gave my opinion that M3 mk2 could happen (to distinguish between current M3 and “newer” M3) if you know what I’m saying.

It’s just all speculation. It may be true, it may be not. But that’s the point, people share their opinion on an Internet forum to discuss/talk/speculate.
 
Only Magico knows the details of the new M2 bass drivers. Magico does not use off the shelf drive units, which means that almost each drive unit ends up beeing modified to best suit a gived design.

M2 is a smaller speaker, with a smaller # of drive units - I would be surprised if Magico didn't tweak (at least) some of the parameters of the drive unit.

The fact that the parameters are different, doesn't mean, that the drive unit is better by default - it is certainly better for a given application.

IMO we will first see the new S7, Q1 and Q7, than we see the new M3 mk 2.

No, but for a Magico product that's been out for a couple of years, it's probably not an engineering change tweek either - especially for something that's not broke. So for a new driver, you probably won't see it retrofitted into a mid-life product, more likely a follow-on product. IMO of course - Magico is the one with the plan.

I agree. Just because it's different doesn't make it better for all speaker sizes.

The M2's are in my opinion the most beautiful Magico ever.

I'm expecting them to sound sublime in small to medium sized rooms with unbeatable speed and articulation.

Will it be better than the M3 and/or do we need a Mark II version of the M3, I say no. That said, I have ordered up a pair of demo M2's and hope they will arrive just in time for Montreal show, late March.

Back to Mark II's. I don't believe there is a single model in Magico's current line up that is in need for a refresh, including the S7's. Only a guess on my part, but I'm expecting an expansion to M and especially the A series before we see any new Mark II's.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

Cheers,
Mark.
 
I used to pile vinyls on top of both speakers, when I had the S3 mk1.

Gorgeous speaker. Thanks for posting the image.

I understand it is constructed like, and has more in common with, the flagship M6 than it does with the M3. I wonder then why the base/footer and bottom design resembles the M3 more than it does the M6. Must be cost.

It also makes me wonder why Magico never developed a Q2 speaker.
