Magico was created over a decade for the sale purpose of leading a no holds barred assault on what is possible in contemporary loudspeaker design
Inspired by the unique vision of industrial designer Alon Wolf, every MAGICO speaker is designed against the standard of perfect audio reproduction - live music.
"Quite simply the best sound i have ever heard from audio, not just in a show ... but everywhere"
— Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi Plus Magazine London, England
Perhaps the most ambitious loudspeakers system ever built, the Ultimate is an all-aluminum, active, five-way horn-loaded system
Standing a few inches short of eight-feet tall and weighing more than 1000 pounds apiece the Ultimate is fully, 1:1 horn loaded speaker system down to 100Hz.
Machining the lower midrange, and horns from 22" solid billet of aluminum.
"Where does one start when attempting to write about the audio experience of a life-time?"

"…the ambience created by the Ultimates was phenomenal"

Paying homage to everything Magico has built over the last ten years, we are proud to announce the release of the M Project, a limited-edition loudspeaker that encapsulates our spirit, our accomplishments, and our latest state-of-the-art technology that will – once again – set a new industry standard. With production limited to 50 pairs, The M Project will be uniquely positioned as a cornerstone for the most resolving and discerning music systems extant.
A three-way, five-driver floorstanding loudspeaker – borrowing familiar motifs from the Q series, the original Mini, and the new S series – the M Project sports a newly designed curved shape, which minimizes internal resonances and enables an industry-leading minimal amount of damping. We further optimized our signature front baffle contour to incorporate edge-free top and bottom plates, integrating a new enclosure comprising aluminum skeleton topology, our signature acoustically optimized front plate, and carbon-fiber sides
"…I don't want to be too dramatic - but it's a new musical experience, and when you start listening,it's intoxicating"
— Hi-Fi Plus
"I believe the Magico M Pro comes closer to meeting the acoustic challenges of different musics…than other speakers I've heard…"

Q7 Mk II
In the constant pursuit of perfection, the new Q7 Mk II represents Magico's leading edge engineering capabilities which allows us to surpass the superb performance of the original Q7.
"It's that overall proficiency, that perfect balance between technical capability and musical empathy, that makes the Magico Q7 a landmark loudspeaker…"
— Deon Schoeman, Audio Video (South Africa)
The design and art form factor of the Q7 remains intact however the scientific research applied to the new Q7 Mk II brings forth radically new and cutting-edge technologies that are found in a newly designed tweeter and midrange driver along with state-of-the-art crossover componentry.
Standing on the shoulders of past successes to create a new standard of technical excellence.
Can there really be an answer to the question "is there such a thing as a truly better loudspeaker?" At Magico, our energy is gathered out of the belief that the answer is a definitive "yes".
"What I will say is that they are, as of this writing, the 'best [speaker out there] for me.' A dream come true"
— Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound
Beautiful complexity. Beautiful simplicity.
One look at the complex internal superstructure will be enough to impress that this is not simply another new loudspeaker. But even this is merely suggestive…
Towering over other S-Series models, the S7 is a full range, 3-way loudspeaker that incorporates new tweeter, midrange and bass driver designs which are derived from the engineering triumphs in the M-Pro loudspeaker.
The S7 houses three 10-inch bass drivers that have extremely powerful magnets and ultra-stiff aluminum cones which are capable of producing deep powerful bass frequencies with speed and accuracy. The excursion rate of the voice coil is measured at 15-mm linear movement and produces clean and undistorted sound pressure levels up to 120dB @ 50Hz / 1-meter.
"An unassailable sense of speed and concussive force the likes of which I have rarely heard. It's just so fast"
— Hans Wetzel, SoundStage
Resonances in the body of a musical instrument are an essential part of defining its nature and quality. The opposite is true of a loudspeaker. Cabinet panel resonances are a significant cause of sound coloration. Heavy bracing of a typical MDF enclosure can help reduce enclosure flex but at the cost of increased energy storage and damping factor. Although a welcome attribute for midrange outout, over damping is detrimental to bass performance (high energy storage, low wide Q and low resonances).
The graphs here show the spectral decay data across the range of typical enclosure construction methods. No singular material can satisfy all of the properties desirable in a loudspeaker enclosure. As stiffness increases, moving from MDF to phenolic resin to aluminum, cabinet vibrations are drastically reduced, although a sharpened Q of the resonance results in an audible ring. By damping the high Q resonance via elaborate constrained layer damping we have eliminated all energy storage and audible resonance from our enclosure.
The chassis: Like any modern mechanical device, its effectiveness is determined by the ability of its moving parts to travel efficiently.The new Q series is designed with the same principles applied to automobile or airplane construction.
Intricate internal framework makes up an extremely rigid chassis to which all of the mechanical, passive and active parts are mounted to maximize the efficiency of each component. The end result is the most well adapted loudspeaker enclosure ever built.
