    New Magico Speaker ??? 12-12-22

    Even 25% is on the high side on high end. It can be as low as 15% but generally is between 20-25% of MSRP. Unless you are buying directly from the manufacturer I think 20-25% is acceptable in high end audio. If you take customer discount, dealer profit, distributor profit, transportation...

    New Magico Speaker ??? 12-12-22

    I love Magico speakers. Owned Q3 myself. Would love to have the new S7 when it's available. I believe the new S3 retail price is demand driven not cost driven. I am sure Magico sells A LOT OF speakers and this supports my speculation. I wish Magico was a publicly traded company. Then, I would...

    New Magico Speaker ??? 12-12-22

    I'm curious why Magico stopped at $50K for the new S3 (The more "affordable" S series). Why not $500K, which is clearly a bigger number. That's a fact.

    Magico M9

    A close friend of mine is in a very exotic business. He literally aids "really rich" people (mostly from China) gamble all around the world. He travels with them, deal with casinos for exchange rates, open private tables, game rooms, arrange opponents for them. Secure their winnings, plan their...

    This Corona Virus Mania is Just Too Much, We All Need to Chill!

    If you go to any hospital in an area where the virus struck real hard, you'll wish you had a zombie apocalypse. These hospitals do not function as normal hospitals anymore. All doctors from all professions work on Covid-19 patients. Doctors working 7/24 on these patients are getting sick (some...

    Coronavirus ...

    Good luck with stopping the flow "just at the top" while you have a 5 day blind incubation period with exponential growth. So you have to guess the exact time when the water will be "just at the top", go back 5 days in logarithmic fashion to find the perfect time to isolate people. That's a...

    Coronavirus ...

    Past year's or this year's data about normal flu running its course means nothing really. Death numbers for car accidents are irrelevant. The fear of this new Coronovirus comes from its POTENTIAL, not it's current performance. We see that 34K people died from normal flu in 2019 so what's the...

    Coronavirus ...

    These numbers come from health organizations such as WHO. Yes we can speculate all we want from our living rooms but until more accurate data is present, officials need to act on these. How many people died from this virus without being diagnosed? We don't know that either.

    Coronavirus ...

    At 80+ age death rate is 14.8%. This is scary. Between 70-79 it is 8%. Nearly 1 out of 10 people dies, which is huge. 60-69 it is 3.6%. 36 times the death rate of normal flu. Very dangerous. 50-59 and it’s 1.3%. Still 13 time more dangerous than normal flue but its a fight. 40 and below...

    "The Flu is likely in more than 200 countries every year and this year alone accounts for 18K deaths in the US alone. P-E-R-S-P-E-C-T-I-V-E. Thank you Wisnon. That just show us how dangerous Coronavirus is if it spreads like normal flu since mortality rate is at least X20 in average. We have to...

These societies cover big portion of the world economy. Even if this virus spreads like Spanish flu or a normal flu, there...
