Magico M9


Sorry, I come to WBF for analyzing and discussing stereo matters, not for speculation and gossip. Can you provide the data I asked? BTW, many other members and I have often posted our typical listening levels along more than 10 years of WBF - an useful information to understand our different perspectives .

Sorry. I have no interest in getting involved in a pissing match. I don’t dance

I have offered copious notes on RRV in various threads, and you can take it or leave it - though I’m presuming you still doubt the veracity of my claims regarding RRV and have never taken the time to set it correctly or to ascertain if you think it’s ‘a thing’. Apologies in advance if I’m being too presumptuous

All told I still don’t know why you think a test tone helps you. Are you concerned my room volume is too low/ too high. It isn’t either. It’s set correctly and I don’t alter the volume EVER!

There is a topic on "Volume and Listening" that I just found. This topic is being discussed over there in hopes of only discussing M9 topics here.

Interesting solution they employed to preserve vibration isolation between the two sections without use of a gasket. Only the front plate extends downwards to create a seal with lower section that blocks light from passing through. :cool:

Maybe @Rhapsody or his RLR owner in TX will comment further once they have one or both sets installed.

Edit: Actually Magico extended exterior length of both face plates equally. Internally there must be another element completely overlapping the small remaining gap.

It will be an interesting next few months.....stay tuned:)

A walk in the park.....
 
Bob, congratulations. What location is that? Would love to see a system video once it’s all set up and dialed in.
Hi Peter,

This is the Dallas current location. We are in process of building out a new Dallas RLR showroom 10 minutes from the DFW airport. The new showroom will be ready in the May timeframe.

We set the M9s up in the existing location to PLAY WITH THEM as well as break them in. We also have a few interested customers that we will be showing them to prior to the final installation in the new showroom, but for now we are just enjoying them.

I have no real interest in doing videos with our M9s. You have to hear them in the room to understand what they are all about.
 
for all those that think being in the audio business is no work and just listening to music!!!

Doesn't look like pushing the M9 is all that much work. :)

It's a lot harder than it looks, especially on the carpet. On wood/tile floor it would be much easier:p

I agree with you Ian. I would not have imagined that one person can move it around. I’ve seen the videos of four or six burly guys putting the thing together, but once it’s assembled on wheels I’m surprise that one person can move it. And to think that this is a temporary location and the whole thing will be disassembled and moved somewhere else.

i’m curious to learn what’s next for Magico.

Chris and I uncrated the bass modules and the top models in 2 hours. Then we had three helpers come in and help us lift the top modules on top of the bass modules. That took about 1/2 hour. I pushed them into the other room in 15 minutes.

It then took an hour to install all of the cables and set up the MXO crossover. In four hours we were playing music.

We could have waited for the new showroom to be completed but it was too tempting and turned out to be no big deal to install them. I was prepared for a two day installation after seeing the videos of the other M9 installations. After the four hour installation, then for the next day and a half, we just listened to them.

We did not install the Mpods, which would take another hour. We left the wheels on, as we will be taking them down and re-installing etc. For now we are just breaking them in.
