The problem with Magicos

Take a Mylar kite with a copper tether line, attach the tether to a yttrium needle inserted into an inflated sheep’s bladder, sealed with earwax around the insertion point. Through an opening on the other end of the bladder, attach a length of natural sausage casing with cheap twine, pig intestine is preferred, and the casing end to a Barnum bellows. Direct the bellows exhaust to the intake of a pure silver alembic containing precisely 4 drams of tears from a widowed spinster floating in a pool of mercury. Allow the distilled effluent to drop on to 7 yards of vellum treated with fly agaric extract, stretched tautly over a bronze kettle.

Now, fly the kite when a thunderstorm approaches. A successful lightning strike to the kite will travel down the copper wire, causing the yttrium needle to oscillate at 35.432 fluctons per quaternion. The resulting air displacement through the sausage casing will cause the bellows to increase pressure in the alembic forcing the spinster tears to separate one quantum of mercury gas which will strike the vellum. Due to the fly agaric’s hallucinogenic compounds, the bronze kettle will play Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew with mind-blowing fidelity to such a degree that Magicos, indeed ANY speaker will sound like a grotesquely obese man farting in a bowl of jello.

Gentlemen, as I have demonstrated with this amazing application of Natural philosophy, all Audiophile speaker manufacturers are fools, fools I say!

The OP is obviously onto something here for sure and you all know it.

Everyone knows Magico can do better a better job and this could really help!
Some well placed holes for all that noise and distortion to escape. That’s makes good sense to me!

You know what. I’m going to do it. I am going to drill holes in my Magico’s and then report the results back here to you guys. I’m friends with Sam Atkinson so we can take some measurements to prove this is legit!

I’ll update everyone right here on this thread and let you know.

One quick question. What driver am I supposed to drill the hole in? Was it the teeter or the midrange? Let me know because I want to get this right and drill these holes in the right drivers! I have an awesome new drill and a bunch of new drill bits so please let me know. I’m ready and thanks again. Great post! Wish me luck! 

jet 88, isn't fly agaric known as the amanita muscaria?  Loose the box altogether go Magnepan.

Whatever issue you find with Magicos, it will not change the fact, that I am still missing my S5, after I have upgraded. Probably due to the noise...who knows.

Is the noise measurable?  If so, have you measured the noise or have you heard the noise yourself?  What model(s) did you hear the noise?

I was at a friends home last night and he has expensive Magicos MSRP $175,000 I think (not what he paid for them).

I was surprised how dead silent the music came out of them compared to my Vandersteen 5As.  They had an entirely black background.  I guess I will have to go back and listen more carefully to the sound.

Do you hear the noise on all music?  Will I hear the noise on solo piano recordings or a solo violin?

Thanks
