Magico - a new Mini?

Are you saying it's ugly? If so, I fully concur.

l like the looks of the Mini II MUCH better. Hopfully the Q1 is a lot cheaper.

James63 - thanks for finding this thread and providing your update. The Mini II is no longer listed in their website's product section, but the backplate of the Mini appears on one of their main pages---perhaps a tease for products to come!
Anyway, Magico is very serious about sound quality and I'd bet the new speaker will sound better than the prior one. I do agree that the Mini II looks so much better and would be a better fit in a home environment.

I own the Mini II and love its look and sound. I remember reading all about how important the massive base and the unique three roller bearing coupling between the speaker and base are to its sonics. The top plate is angled at precisely 17 degrees, weighs 110 lbs etc. etc. That base is really is a thing of beauty, is very massive and is very effective sonically.

I guess Magico discovered a way to get better sound with a more typical stand bolted to a bookshelf speaker aesthetic. Or, they will be much less difficult to manufacture and should therefore be less costly. I think the wooden cabinets were very expensive to build and not quite as stable a material as all aluminum.

I'd love to hear a pair and know what they will cost.

Q1 very ugly big time ill stick with my MINI 2.
