Magico - a new Mini?

I wish someone with some inside info can chime in on this. I'm really wondering if V2 and V3 will be discontinued since they've released the Q.

I'm with Newton, I do like the wood/metal combination look.

Scar972,

I also love the wood/aluminum look. If you have heard the V2 and V3 and like their looks and love the way they sound in your system, you should go out a buy a pair while they are still available. I almost bought a pair of V2's until I heard my Mini IIs.

I agree with Ebm, the Mini is wonderful, it's just very expensive. The V series will be replaced, it is just a matter of when. You should be able to save some money by finding a good deal on a used or demo pair, especially once the new Q's arrive.

Peterayer,

I'm definately looking to add either the V2 or V3 to my system soon. Don't know if the new Q series will be any better with all alumninum, but I just hope that Magico will not abandon the wood/alumnimum look that brought them praise over the last few years.

There appears to be a new aluminum monitor from Magico called the Q1

Follow the link below and about 1/2 way down the page you will see a picture.

Q1

From Soundstage:

"Magico surprised the CES crowd with the release of not one, but two Q-series loudspeakers. There was the Q3, which we'll get to, and the Q1. Replacing Magico's long-running Mini platform, the Q1 is a bookshelf-sized two-way design with an included bolt-on/off stand. It features a 7" Nano-Tec midrange-woofer and their 1" MBe-1 tweeter. Price is TBA. Availability is second quarter of 2011."
