New Magico A1 Bookshelf Speakers!

If you are LA area, Brooks Berdan has them on display. I get emails from them.

Since it is Magico, I would expect reviews within a couple months of launch.  Should see something in Q1, 2020.  Regarding power, it would not shock me if the impedance is lower on those speakers and they will require a bit more oomph to do their best.  I said before, I expect them to be very good.

My demo vs. Kaiser was the S1s not S1 MK2.  That being said, I almost bought the S1s and I really find Magico to be one of the only beryllium tweeter implementations I really like.  This was a few years ago right as the MK II was coming out.    

Also, I thought it was MDF.  Just looked and the cabinet is made of "Tankwood / rubber / glass fibre high pressure sandwich cabinet without parallel surfaces."  That explains why they can use a paper cone and get such good results.  

I have not spent an extended period with an AMT.  Might need to make a pair of speakers with one of the mundorf AMT used here and an Eton driver given the high impedance values of both.  .    

I personally like tube amps a lot and am the importer for Art Audio so I am sure I will be able to find amps that will make them shine.  .

Thank you!

Brooks Berdan has the Magico A1 in-stock and ready to ship. 

Including a YouTube link to their video demo'ing the A1 in-store.

Thanks again!

Many top shelf stand mounts out there, like Tune Tots, 805s, Guarneris, and I could name drop many others. Some folks prefer them as they are more fit for smaller rooms (I do).

It’s entertaining to see Magico distillate their design codes in order to offer price-point products that still has the Magico DNA. If they weren’t developing and selling 100k+ speakers they wouldn’t be able to offer those.

I’d love to hear them with some Accuphase gear, now!
