The long wait is over. Soooo happy !
My unpacking pics below.
The speakers came in 2 separate wooden crates (plus a set of MPods on top).
A single crate weights 350lbs (!). Forklift is your only option.
I got them home with a help from pro movers. From there, I was able to unpack them by myself (I could have waited for my wife or my dealer, but I'm an impacient kind of guy). Magico seem to have changed the crates design compared to my old S5s mk 2, as the front gate is no longer attached with hinges. There is also now a layer of hard foam under the speaker (you can see the black foam under the 1/2 inch thick plywood that the speakers sits on) which gives a level of shock protection. That feature was absent in my S5 mk 2 crates.
You have to remove the front gate, flip upside it down, remove the two black foam blocks held by velcro tape, and you are basicly done - you can roll the speakers out. How convinient !
The speakers are held in a position by a combination of U shaped metal pieces and wooden blocks. Doesn't look like much, but is suprisingly effective.
Ready to roll out:
Out of the crate:
The raw aluminium supports you see at the back, are only for transportation.
After you find the right spot for your speakers in your listening room, you are supposed to replace the casters with spikes. Alternatively, you may replace the casters with the optional MPods:
The carbon fibre sides look spectacular. We are talking Audi R8 V10 level of quality and awesomenes. The finish is very deep and looks mirror like.
The new diamond coated berillium tweeter:
6" graphene reinforced carbon fibre mid:
7" graphene reinforced carbon fibre woofer:
Mundorf sourced binding posts:
The M3s are now burning in nicely in my living room system now (connected to Naim UnityQute 2 all-in-one - a 35WPC monster!):
I'm gonna keep them here for a couple of days before I move them to my dedicated listening room.
