Interesting Magico news

They are now using a 'polymer' sub-enclosure in their S5 MK 11 - for the 'critical' midrange
driver no less. 
Isn't this similar to what Wilson Audio has been using for years?
Curious.

Good point as Magico would NOT want things to become expensive.

I think it’s just a plastic dish of a specific size, which is likely filled with some damping material (of celestial origins no doubt). Here is a video of the S3; discussion (and picture) of the polymer housing for the midrange is at about 9:45 mark.

As stated above, many manufacturers isolate the midrange in a closed/damped housing or chamber.

MelBguy,

Can you say more about the damping mats you mention in your previous post? Do you know either their composition or their source?

(So Magico use 5-layer damping mats to prevent any audible ’excitement’ from the cabinet.)

Thanks in advance,
