Nice. The benefits of spikes coupled with the benefits of SPODs. Might have to try them after the speakers are finished breaking-in.

Interesting! Any idea why they are using a spiked version this time around?

I was wondering the same thing Howard & posted the following question..:skeptical:

Interesting! I know performance is the driving force behind everything Magico do, so i'm curious why you've opted for a hybrid design between a pod & spike/base in this case in lieu of a variation of the MPod?

That said, i'm sure a set will find their way into my Christmas stocking, if not sooner ;).

I see what you did there. :)

Ummm, I asked for the price?

I think while MPODS would be cost-wise an overkill, these could be interesting for my S3s. Have read great things about the principle on the forum.

Also, I used to be a Stillpoints fanboy, despite some people on the forum suggesting that Magicos and Stillpoints might not be an ideal fit. After setting up a dedicated room with acoustic treatments, which improved my ability to hear what comes out of the speakers a lot, I removed the Stillpoints and concluded the guys on the forum were spot on.

These could be another story...

I thought you were making a play on words - price point.

These seem to be significantly smaller and less complex than the MPOD's so they're probably a lot less expensive - which makes sense - $1000+ per footer is justifiable on a more expensive speaker but not necessarily on the S series (below the S7 anyway).
 
I got this reply from Magico re: my question why they opted for a hybrid design between a pod & spike/base for the SPod :)..

Magico LLC Thank you for your inquiry. The SPod design is dictated by the size of the S1/3/5 coupling interface and overall weight of the products which are ideally served by spiked coupling to the floor.

So, what's the verdict on any improvements made?

It's too early to tell. Even my Dealer hasn't seen a set yet. But if the MPods are anything to go by, they should be well engineered and work a treat :thumbsup:. I'm quite keen to order a set depending on price as I haven't spiked my speakers yet.
 
I've been using Townshend Seismic Podiums under speakers with great results, but I have a 14x26 room with a fully suspended floor. I've found that, in the past, spiking has resulted in the floor creating peaks by resonating at certain frequencies. The Townshends helped this greatly. I'm wondering if the S Pods will perform as well when my S5 mk II arrive.
 
$2995 for 8.
$3195 for S1 and S3 with new outriggers.

Hi Mike, are S1 and S3 referring to mk1 or mk2?

I can only imagine that they will make a huge difference. My MPros with MPods are amazing. I thought the bass was detailed before but now with MPods they are just mind blowing good.
