The most comprehensive video released on building a Magico loudspeaker. A 15 minutes, step by step introduction to the process of building the world finest loudspeaker.
Hi 👋, very very nice, in search of perfection, Especially when it comes to making the perfect cup of coffee, 😂, I am listening to this on my handbuilt, 40-year-old transmission line loudspeaker cabinets , I just recently updated the driver units and crossovers, SEAS , 150w , your music territorial, came across excellent, good sound quality, if I ever win the lottery, I will definitely consider a pair of these speakers, 🔊 cabinets, But first of all I would need to Repair my leaking roof, and turn my attic space into a very very large music room, which I think would be amazing, It is approximately 7 1/2 m in width and approximately 12 m in length, with a pitch height of just over 7 m , Thank you for uploading your territorial On, showing how you manufacture your cabinets they do look amazing, 70+ years young, retired living in a very old Moulin in France .
Exceptional attention to detail at every step of the manufacturing process. That's why popular models like the S5 Mk2's rarely appear on the used market.
Some of the best speakers made if you have very deep pockets. Love their design philosophy which contains no faery dust or foo nonsense, just technically very competently designed and built. As a speaker designer and small time manufacturer myself It’s as breath of fresh air to see a company like this👍
Very nice video, bravo to the filmmakers. That's the best looking espresso I've ever seen... and camera work worthy of Babette's Feast. Fun to watch a build on the dead opposite end of the spectrum from my abilities, made more intriguing because I listen to 3 systems these days, one has Magico speakers, another has open baffle speakers I just made. The 2 speaker systems are more or less polar opposites yet both make great sound stages, both are very 'honest', both are fantastic. The Saga of Harrison Crabfeathers is a great tune, so well recorded, it has been my ground zero reference cut since I found it... and lastly, Bravo for putting in the part about sorting out the acoustics of your listening space. cheers.
Fantastique ! Un savoir-faire unique et un niveau d'exigence incomparable ont permis à Magico de s'imposer en quelques années seulement comme la marque de référence en enceintes acoustiques au niveau mondial, sur un marché pourtant très encombré. Mais le talent et le respect du client finissent toujours par triompher. Un succès largement mérité donc.
It appears that the talented team at Magico take their coffee as seriously as their speakers.A little caffeine stimulant can go a long way when you're hard at work to produce something of this quality.I really liked the look of the red colour model at 11 minutes into the video.I fail to understand why there would be down votes for videos such as this.It's an interesting insight into the process,even if you're not a fan of the brand for whatever reason. Nice listening room,although i feel it would be even better with a reclining chair and a glass of one's favourite tipple (both musts for any ''audiophile''! )
They're the F1 equivalent of the speaker world, but with the power of a Top Fuel Dragster. If a set of Focal Diablos are the Saturn 5 rocket, these are Alien spacecrafts. What I'm trying to say is these are special. If some day my stocks do really really well or I win over 30 million dollars a pair of M9 Carbons might just be a purchase i'd make. They're 1.5 million dollars in Australian money though. Can speakers be heirlooms?
at Goodwins High end I heard in their “Big Room” they had M5s with spectral dma 500 monoblocks and the dmc30sv pre and dcs vivaldi stack and it was not only holographic but that holography was thick like I could reach out and touch the sound. It was in some ways cooler than hearing a live performance…..
I heard the Magico M6 loudspeaers at Munich 2019 High End. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE THEY HAVE! really awesome speakers, they sound so amazing! but unfortunalety they are too expensive....they are not for everyone, pricewise
I'd like to apply for a job .. =) - Im not sure about the CA situation with COVID,, ..but once the state has that cleared up, .. I'd make the trip if I were welcomed.
Впервые удалось послушать акустические системы MAGICO серии М ,на выставке HI FI HI End show 2024 , 23 марта. Жизнь поделилась на до .. и прсле. Акустические системы Magico по сути и являются музыкальными инструментами высочайшего уровня.
..Very nice ..but remember all use woofers and tweeters that follow the laws of physic's.. just like all others , but now best in world build and computer design and manufacturing never seen before ..would ne a joy to own
Lossy, flat, less dimensionality, colored, boxy resonance, dramatically less smoothness and ease. Cornwalls are a fine product, but compared to a refined offering like Magicos, the difference would be stunning. Likely the biggest takeaways; - smoothness and ease... - dimensionality, 3D...
@@Oneness100 Basket, spider, magnet, nuts and bolts, driver surround all seem to be very similar to that of Morel! If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck ... ..
@@juststuff5216 What's your problem? There is such a thing as different materials, then there is the crossover, the cabinet. Their speakers do NOT look like Morel drivers. Maybe older Magico's, but definitely not the new Magicos…………. Magico has bass drivers without dust caps, I haven't seen any Morel drivers like that. Their's usually have that overly large dust cap on their drivers. Plus, the woven material Magico is using for the cone doesn't look anything like what Morel uses. Sorry, but you have failed to prove anything other than your own igorance.
@@juststuff5216 Here's Magico's webpage and they specifically say that they actually design AND manufacturer their own drivers. Again, maybe older Magico's were custom Morel drivers, but I don't think they use them as they design and mfg. their own drivers. Again, look at the materials, Magico uses a special fabric to create their cones and dust caps, and I've never seen that material used by any other speaker company, including Morel. magico.net/technology/drivers.php
Every time you tap and thread a part you build your own future tambourine. Some manufacturing genius said the best part is no part. Also save about 290 tons of chips!
Nice video; however, I would prefer a bartender to a barista. After seeing those prices, I need a drink! Seriously, I'm sure you make some fine speakers. I would like to hear your A3 speakers. They may be my next purchase.
I have these A3s. The quality of their sound is top shelf. Also they look better in the flesh than in photos. The only downside is the bass. They do have decent bass at mid to high volumes. At low levels they need a bit help. You do have to get a top of the line Sub to match the quality of the Magico mids.
I am always sceptic if I see or better listen to high end chains, which were only presented with puristic jazz noises. In almost 30 years I heard a lot. Today's high flyer could be lying dead in the ditch next year. Even if the speaker and their r&d are looking very sophisticated, the personal impression of the sound, the Qualia, the bit more, the last meters to the summit, are strongly non-linear. So you have to pay so much more to get it...with having children the priorities changes. Nevertheless...awesome.
I dont understand why they are showing with pride the use of cheapest mundorf caps, they look like just building cabinets. I ll outsource my cabinets to you guys. You are doing good metallurgy work for some reason.
It’s very unlikely I’ll ever be able to afford a pair of Magico speakers, but a guy can dream, right? A pair of M3’s with maybe some Parasound monoblock amps.... oh yeah.
I never quite understood the logic of making a speaker out of aluminum, which rings like a bell. Yes, it's stiff, but would require heroic effort to damp vibrations, as well as being incredibly expensive and difficult to machine. Why not use a more inert composite material?
@@jonathanginofilippi EVERYTHING vibrates and has a resonant frequency. Thicker aluminum would just raise the resonant frequency. Ever hear of a musical instrument called a vibraphone? It's bars are made from aluminum and it can ring for a LONG time.
A bit disappointing that we didn’t see a few steps around: Prototype; measure response and evaluate; modify design until perfect desired response achieved. Seems buyers are paying for a nice head office, I’d rather see a full measurement suite rather than a nice lobby!!
A passive loudspeaker, is not the ultimate loudspeaker in sound quality, the best made active designs like ATC SCM ASL sound better than passive loudspeakers.
Most individuals could likely get better results toward state of the art playback by pursuing an active platform. But a 1%er like Alon Wolf and his team, could most likely extract more performance passively. Active has its advantages, no question. What's most important is the end result. Both approaches can result in superb in room playback. Both approaches possess potential pitfalls if not well executed. I'm guessing the challenges of passive elements, ie., insertion loss, ELI the ICE man, magnetic interactions, microphonics, component hysteresis, etc., have all been adequately managed vis-à-vis a state of the art active monitor counterparts. End result is all that matters at this level. I'll admit active, DSP'd, small inexpensive monitors offer EXTRAORDINARY performance for the money. Aside from my big primary system, I've got a mixing/editing, mastering system. I picked up a set of ~$200 each JBL 308P... and what they've done is incredible. $200!?? 8" two-way, active, biamped, DSP aligned/contoured, low diffraction baffle... amazing! A power supply, dsp, chip amp, feeding two drivers, in a modest cabinet... Economy of Scale, leveraging decades of Harmon research, over seas mfg... we're fortunate. Magico's owner's manuals probably cost more to make than one of these JBLs!
That's why they sell hundreds of pairs a year. Just because you are a loser doesn't mean everyone else is. There is no such thing as overpriced if the market supports it. If the speakers were overpriced no one would buy them and Magico would be out of business.
