Before I get carried away with pin-point accuracy through mids, ear-level tweeters, and aerospace-grade enclosures, a quick bit of back history: in June 2020, Magico introduced its $750,000 M9 flagship loudspeaker, the highest-performing semi-active loudspeaker in Magico's oeuvre. Cut to May 2023 and I was invited to hear Magico's third-gen. S3, the company's mid-range floor-standing speakers – although that description does ask you to file asking fees of between £56,998 and £66,000 (depending on finish, so around $71,330 or AU$106,860 for starters) under "mid-range" in your brain.
The above information is when I fell in love with what Magico does. Now, I'm back in Central London, to hear a new proposition that's both a lot more expensive than the S3 and a lot cheaper than the M9 (but still comfortably within money-no-object territory).
