Magico - a new Mini?

Thanks Chris,
It looks the same as the prototype from CES. I'm curious about the price and what it sounds like.

It seems more elegant then the prototype photos I have seen from CES. Perhaps the proportions are different as well??

No technical specs yet though. I am curious how much bass they can get out of a sealed speaker this small.

I am sure we will see prices soon since they are on the website. I question how much cheaper they will be. The Q3 is more than the V3...

I bet a Q2 is around the bend too.

It's interesting that there was a lot of written by Magico about the precise 17 degree backward tilt of the Mini to time-align the drivers. The V2 and V3 also tilt back slightly, but the Q1, Q3 and Q5 appear to have vertical front baffles. Also, I wonder if the Q1 will be 90 dB efficient like the Q3.

The Q3 is probably more expensive than the V3 because it has an extra driver and the cabinet is more substantial. That does not seem to be the case with the Q1, so it may be less expensive than was the Mini II.

I must say that from my listening experiences and subsequent aid in setting up a past friend's Mini's,the lower registers were absolutely "amazing"(and this from a sealed box)!This, in a room of about 12.5x21 or so feet....I assume the partnering equipment,which was SOTA added to the great experience.....Still,though a small-ish and sealed enclosure,the speaker dug "deep" and with superb precision at any frequency asked for.They definitely sounded BIG!!...Orchestral music at high volume was a cinch for this set-up.

There was a small group of audiophiles who nit picked this set up,but I firmly believe it was more of a rationalization due to the design getting so much good press,than anything else.

Though my final point might seem inconsequential,I LOVED the "look" of the MINI much more than Magico's newer models(I realize this is just me)as it was supremely attractive!

Best to all
