Magico M9

[Addicted to hifi]

Size does matter

With a large well designed speaker you can just relax / lay back and be sure all the freqs that are on the recording will be reproduced / heard .
If the low freqs are not on the recording (less bass / scale ) the system will automatically scale down and sound small/ intimate .
If you are used to a large speaker there is no going back

I agree with you.I don’t like small speakers at all.

I agree with you.I don’t like small speakers at all.

I m not really saying that either , one can have great sound in an appropriate room/ setting with smaller speakers as well .
Its just that if you want the whole freq band you need large FR speakers
And unfortunately they dont come cheap if they re well made.
8 inch woofers aint gonna cut it

I understand what you mean but I am used to very big speakers like magnapan 30.7s.small speakers cart reproduce scale and height in a recording like big speakers do.

You d be amazed how much smaller speakers already roll off below 60 hz
A lot of smaller speakers dont have a bass foundation
A piece of the music is just simply missing

Or...his dealer really cares

Or both..

Which "smaller speakers already roll off below 60Hz"? Stand mount, sure, full range, data shows almost none roll of starting at 60Hz. Heck, my office system's KEF R3 monitors with a little 6.5" woofer don't start to roll off until the low 50s. With room gain, even lower.

They might not roll of at 60 but what ever bass there is below that in a small speaker will be weak.small book shelf speakers cannot do bass properly.

Small speaker roll-off is an interesting topic. It might be interesting thread for someone to start. Not much to do with this M9 thread.

Now the m9 is a speaker that would have superb bass response and extension.

Bob, do you anticipate that you will be making any system videos once the M9 is set up in your Brooklyn location?

I have always considered Magico speakers, especially the top line, to be fairly transparent to the rest of the system and room, so I suspect in these M9 videos we are hearing the room and the rest of the system rather than the speaker, but it would be fascinating to confirm by listening to other videos.

You mentioned 8" woofers "ain't gonna cut it". So, which is it, monitors or speakers with 8" woofers (which aren't monitors)? And speakers with 8" woofers can go way lower than 60Hz.

Hi Peter,

Actually right now, who knows??? I have no desire thinking about it today to make videos with the M9s in my location. I just want to hear and play with them

Life has changed for me. I have a MUCH more relaxed environment that I am in since my move. At the same time, in the last two weeks I sold three pair of Alsyvox, a full Pilium system and three pairs of Bayz Counterpoint speakers (two to RLRs) and two pair of Bayz Courantes to two other RLRs.

Sales are off the charts like never before and that is without the RLRs starting to roll. SO......

I REALLY look forward to our initial M9 installation in the Dallas RLR, which is scheduled for sometime in Q1, 22. We already have a few VERY interested M9 potential customers waiting for this first installation.

Then when my M9s are installed after the Dallas installation, who knows what I will be thinking at that time. I sort of doubt that I will have a desire to post videos of the M9s. We will host visitors, as will Dallas as Alon already is hosting visitors to hear the M9s at "Magico Mecca".

With three locations in the US available for M9 demonstrations I don't see much purpose in doing videos. Pics for sure, videos, probably not. No purpose to it from where I sit.

Is there not a guy who does video reviews? AV Showrooms.
3 locations to demo the M9. Is that a traveling show or three permanent exhibits?

You must listen to this small active speakers linear down to 35hz 8"woofer

The 3 locations (Hayward, Dallas/FW and Brooklyn) will be permanent M9 installations.

It won’t do bass like a large speakers with the same response.

 

[DasguteOhr]

depends on the room, a Magico would sound terrible at 20 square meters at high volume, a Geithain not promised. A loudspeaker has to fit the room, so you can't generalize that big speakers are always better in my opinion.I don't mean bad, that's what I learned after 30 years of HiFi

Can we please stop discussing random irrelvant loudspeakers on this Magico M9 thread?

Thank you.

Do you think I pair of m9s will ever make it to Australia? I’m very keen on hearing these amazing speakers.

No idea really. I don't know the Magico dealers in AU. Unless a Magico dealer brings them in or someone from AU buys them then ???

Get on airplane and come for a visit next year!
