True. But they don't have to go with graphene woofers - since the S7 already has all the mk 2 tech (diamond coated Be tweeter, graphene reinforced mid, the new eliptical mid sub-enclosure, outriggers) they may just go with the concave top to match the rest of the mk 2 lineup. That would make sense since all the speakers would finally share the same tech and esthetics, but also would probably not aggravate the current S7 owners.

PeterA would be thrilled.
I have a few who would be. Peter from Magico is coming here Saturday. If someone holds him down, I'll pummel him for information. I still have some WWE moves I can use. [emoji38]

I actually disagree. It has a very solid tripod with 3 M Pods which Alon said in a recent presentation needed to be used under a heavy speaker like the M3 or M Pro. For example, prior to the release of the S Pods, I asked Magico if the M Pods would be suitable for my 100kg S5 Mk2's & they advised me to stick with the factory spikes/cups. So whatever M series model ultimately lands, it likely will be atleast as heavy as the M3.

Let's keep in mind that is just a sketch, real life implementation could vary a bit. That's a good point about the load requirement for the MPODs, otherwise I'm with Mike that the drawing looks a bit delicate for a very heavy speaker.
Nice curvy lines though, could be a WAF approved design [emoji3].

Hmmmm....that's a real head scratcher. The plot thickens.

Desktop computer speakers?
From that angle, it looks like a different industrial design approach / form factor.
That yacht keel like structure between the body and tripod base lends it a certain air of elegance, like the speaker is floating.
It also appears that the bottom of the speaker is not parallel to the floor, with the rear being higher than the front? If so, possibly to make the top and bottom plates non parallel, and reduce standing waves?
Pure speculation here too but is there a hint of suggestion that the front tapers to a narrower rear back plate? Again, to reduce standing waves and make it look more sculptural? [Then again, perhaps not, since the slightly curved carbon fibre panels will be able to break up the standing waves?]
Read somewhere that Alon said that Magico is in the business of making speakers, not furniture (hence no wood veneer and, originally, only black anodised finishes). This seems to be a slight change of approach albeit more of a form following function industrial design.
