It's basically the same configuration. A tweeter-woofer "monitor module" sitting on top of a dual driver bass module, same price point, and hitting the 10k price point for a beryllium based speaker. I don't think that latest Magico was made to combat any product in particular. Probably they simply decided that it's time for them to introduce more affordable range, that they're ready, all numbers add up and... that's it. YMMV, though. Our PowerStation is here: click me!

I also believe that the name A3 is not arbitrarily chosen, as the concept is exactly the same as the original V3's (that I have). They are replacing the wooden housing by an aluminium one, make use of their latest speakers (and probably need to adapt the filters as well), but the resemblance is quite clear. Dirk Yes, to use one's own proprietary tech, introduce more affordable goods and be present on the market in general is a smart thing to do. crenca 1 Our PowerStation is here: click me!

Popular Post AMR/iFi audio Posted January 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2018 6 hours ago, rwwjr44 said: I read (in one of the audio mags) that the housings were outsourced due to cost. http://www.soundstageglobal.com/index.php/product-debuts/magico-a3-december-2017/737-magico-a3-loudspeaker-the-concept. The statement is a bit ambiguous but... The A3 price tag indicates clearly that Magico aims to sell a lot of these speakers. Hence if another highly specialized company is able to do the job flawlessly for Magico and for a reasonable price if an order is big enough, this makes sense. rwwjr44 and asdf1000 1 1 Our PowerStation is here: click me!
