Yes. The Mpod will be integrated into the M3 design in the coming weeks (next month ?) and the price will be adjusted accordingly.

Mike, looks like it's now time to get your 'home pair' of M3s after all - you must admit, you've now had yours for a while [emoji16].

Is that M3 mk2 already ? :D sounds a lot better than Mk1 + Mpod :exciting:

The S5 mk 2s are still the best sub-$40k I've heard. I'm just listening to them right now. They are just lovely. The M3s are quite a bit more.

I was was thinking how I could improve my system for some time. I was considering selling my msb M202 monos and getting the Vitus SM-011 or SM-102 monos. However, all the people I've talked to insisted going with the M3 will bring even bigger improvement.

So here I am.

I don't doubt the S5 Mk2's are a good speaker, but, you know what they say, you're not a senior until you own M3's :rolleyes:

It is all your fault. And Mike is the most guilty of all of you. He has been talking about the M3 and how great they are for weeks ... Same for Rob. Everyone has their limits. I couldn't stand that talk anymore and ordered a pair ... I think you can officialy call me a victim, lol.

Seriously though, I've been in love with the sound from the first time I've heard them. But you guys pushed me over the edge.

I should have them in a couple of weeks.

It seems I made myself a nice Christmas present !

Now back to listening to my lovely S5 mk 2 ... they are the best speakers I've had - by far. So musical.

It's a slippery slope isn't it? It's like you've got the cake, now do you want to put the icing on it? My friend is running subs with his Magico S7's & I have to admit the improvement is substantial. Then again, he has a large size room. It would be a bit more challenging integrating subs into Adam's smaller room, but doable.

What subs is he using with his Magico speakers?

I do not think it is too difficult to integrate subs into main speakers. I would only use sub for 30 Hz or below which many main speakers will start will roll off. Sub 20 Hz really improves presence and body. I only cross over my sub around 30 Hz and the improvement is substantial.

I do not believe M3 can go to 20 Hz flat. Add sub to M3 will help. Most of the other brands' top reference speakers are 4 towers and there are reasons for that.
 
I was pondering on using two subs for some time now. At one point, I was even considering selling the S5s (S5 mk 1 at the time) and getting the Q1s with subs.

My dealer doesn't stock Magico subs, not to mention a pair, but I can borrow any sub from Velodyne, REL or Wilson Benech (Torus) to try. That should at least give me a taste of what is possible.

Adam, first off, congrats on your new speakers! Mike tells me they're something special and I hope you have many days of audio bliss!!

Second, I can't say this strongly enough, subs will make a dramatic difference even with full range speakers. Jim Smith told me this for the longest time, but I didn't understand what he meant until I added a stereo pair.

Congrats again :congrats:

ok admittedly a lazy question so let me regroup and come again..:)


M3 is superior to S5 mk2, as reviewed. But with all this Magico numerology its difficult to keep up , is M3 superior to Q3 , Q7? is the Q series still tops or is the M-Series now tops , what differentiate all these model series , S? M? Q? ...
