Magico M3 vs M2

That is a sort-of meaningless number. You'd never go anywhere close to putting 200W into either M2 or A3.
Wow!!! Sounds like a grail speaker. I cannot wait to hear a pair for myself. Headed to Vancouver later this month to do just that...
deff an incredible speaker and i still love it alot. if you need more low end for your room i found perlisten subs in my other rig to deliver the most magico-esque bass i've heard from a sub. i found cutting the slope to -6db got me there, higher and it sounded more ported. whenever i have a bigger room i'd love to pair m2's with those subs. i'm sure the new s5 is great as is the m7 and that the company continues to push the edge but i personally dont find myself wanting to upgrade as the m2's still do it all for me
I paired the M2s with a pair of Magico SSubs in a 17x30 room. Plenty of bass and I thoroughly enjoy the setup. I have not done an in room comparison with a larger Magico though I am eager to at some point. I am sure there would be advantages to the larger Magicos but again, I am not a feeling a lack.
I had an opportunity to buy M2 demos at a reasonable cost so I did. They fill the room quite well and the bass is tight, defined and powerful however I added the SSubs to widen the sound stage and smooth out my room a bit and of course add more low end when it’s called for.
Fair enough, but two pairs of Ssub are not cheap. I own M3 + Ssub in a calibrated stereo system. With the main amps turned off so you get to hear only the Ssub it is doing hardly any work at all. The money spent on Ssub would have been better spent on something else. I wish Magico did a cheaper version of MXO because that would be better than running M3 full range with Ssub. $48K for an external cross over doesn't make sense for speakers at this price point.
I had my SSubs integrated with my system which Magico did for me. The results are excellent. I don’t know how the M3s would compare versus my M2s plus SSubs….my system fills a large room very well….for me it sounds great. Could I have saved dollars and avoided 300 lb monstrosities in the corners of my room, perhaps, but it does sound great.
Agreed on turning off main amp to hear the subtlety of the SSubs can be a head scratcher however the effect on the sound stage and fullness is palpable.
