Hint of new Magico products

Another point to consider is those beasts are 3 way contrary to 4 way Q5 and Q7. Interesting. I remember Alon in an interview explaining similarities and differences between Q5 and Q3 saying Q5 is 4 way hence more linear bass response is better than 3 way Q3. I wonder if he still thinks the same while M Project is 3 way.

Notice how the blue M Project speaker seems like it has a forward slant to it while the black one does not.

I think t might be an illusion. But, it looks the samme on the rendering on their homepage: http://magico.net/index/index.php
The problem with that is the fact they are only making 50 sets. I see it more as a prototype for a future series.
I'm sure you're right - or at least I sure hope you are.
While I would be interested in something the scale of the Q7, I wouldn't want it's tonal balance per se. Would be really hard to make a leap of faith purchase at this kind of price. By the time we get any feedback on how it sounds it won't be available, which is certainly frustrating.
Somehow, I am guessing high, high likelihood it is a speaker with the power of a Q7 and the tonal balance of an S5. There was a HUGE groundswell of support from a different market for the S5 from what I can observe...loads of people who support the S5 are NOT particularly huge fans of the Q series. But there are Q fans who still like the S (though not all).
AW is very market-saavy and I suspect he sensed that immediately, and designed the M to take the S tonal balance and bring it up a few notches by combining it with the extreme construction and build quality originally reserved for his Q series to deliver even greater detail, decay, response balance, etc... Just a hunch.
I assume that is not a specific information Goodwins have and the rest dont, rather it seems like an interpretation of Goodwins and their guess how M would compare against Q7. Though I ordered new M, I am not in an expectation that they would fully compete with Q7. The size/dimensions as well as bass woofers claim it can not the same low end visceral punch and energy of Q7. For sure they should challenge Q7s in some areas and even exceed, but I do not think they will fit as smaller Q7 or AW had in his mind creating a smaller Q7. My two cents of course...

Thank you! For sure I will share my initial observations when these beasts arrive.
Great!!! When do they arrive?
