All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!

@dht4me 

you could use marble or concrete like the Thiel Audio CS5i. There is nothing special about aluminium. The trouble is Magico wont publish their measurements so it is impossible to verify any claims. 

It's impossible to compare how other speakers compare without measurements. Its impossible to know whether you couldnt achieve the same performance at a fraction of the cost without measurements. Its impossible to know if all the trouble and expense they go to is even audible is it? I dare you to prove it to me.

I happen to own Apogee Divas and CS5i's  although extremely modded which have a cast marble baffle. These speakers were $10k in 1999 and would easily be 40K today. There is nothing inexpensive about the way the CS5i is made nor they way Alon is making his. Machining everything is extremely expensive and nobody should refute that. Is it the most cost effective way to produce a speaker? NO WAY!  But it costs what it costs to make it that way. His older designs are insanely expensive to manufacture.  B&W has gone the lighter weight stiffer way and have a very cost effective way to manufacture however for the clients Alon is going after nothing less would do as they want statement bespoke items.

not really. A quick search shows that a few years ago the CS5i were going for only under 4k bucks which would also be negotiable.

There are plenty of big heavy objects you can buy that cost very little. Bricks, concrete, cast marble etc. Aluminium has a nice finish so that is another reason it is used. There is no proof that the Magico method works or that it cant be done more cheaply. 
You could mount your drivers in the wall at a fraction of the cost and it would be far more inert.

We are talking new price which was 10k in 1999 vs the cost to make them today. You are off your rocker if you think they could produce that speaker for 4k today.  There is at least 6K in wholesale raw drivers and caps alone. They are only cheap on the used market and mainly because everyone knows you need a seriously expensive amp to drive them and a HUGE room. Much like the IRS Betas are cheap today vs the cost to manufacture them in 2020. Speakers that are power hungry and need big ass rooms are not in fashion now with the WAF.
