The problem with Magicos


Magicos are very expensive, solidly built and heavy however there is one problem which the speaker engineers didnt think of when it came to designing the speakers. The woofers in a Magico generate sound from both the front and the back. The problem is that the sound from the back is obviously contained inside that big solid enclosure and after it has reflected around the box, it becomes NOISE. So now you have generated NOISE inside the box which has to be dealt with. The only way to get rid of that nasty noise is to cut a hole using a drill into the back of the cabinet. The hole will need to be big enough to vent the noise. The noise will then need to be vented somewhere far away from the listening environment as you dont want to be hearing that while the music is playing. 

The reason Magico speakers are not universally liked is because they are NOISY. They have a lot of distortion coming out of them because all that box noise comes straight out the front of the midwoofers along with the music unbeknown to the listener. Some listeners will not tolerate this while others may not even realize its there because their ears aren't very good. Hence Magicos, have their fair share of detractors.

All the best and do not be cheated.

Ahh!  A rich new vein for kenjit to mine.

The problem with Wilsons.
The problem with YGs.
The problem with Tidals.
The problem with Rockports.
etc. etc. etc.
 isnt this problem inherent with > 80% of current speakers.
yes.
Or, in other words which speakers/ speaker brands have dealt or corrected this issue.
obviously <20%
And if they have, are those speakers sounding better than magicos.
Thats a silly question. Sound is subjective. Anything can sound better than anything else. The question is
DOES REMOVING THIS DIRTY NOISE FROM THE OUTPUT OF THE SPEAKERS BRING US CLOSER TO PERFECT REPRODUCTION OF THE MUSIC BEING PLAYED?  
ANSWER: 

YES
+2, dgarretson.
In fact, it’s worth reiterating until OP gets through his dense head😂

Trepanning, also known as trepanation, trephination, trephining or making a burr hole (the verb trepan derives from Old French from Medieval Latin trepanumfrom Greek trypanon, literally "borer, auger")[1][2] is a surgical intervention in which a hole is drilled or scraped into the human skull. The intentional perforation of the cranium exposes the dura mater to treat health problems related to intracranial diseases or release pressured blood buildup from an injury. It may also refer to any "burr" hole created through other body surfaces, including nail beds. A trephine is an instrument used for cutting out a round piece of skull bone to relieve pressure beneath a surface.

In ancient times, holes were drilled into a person who was behaving in what was considered an abnormal way to let out what people believed were evil spirits.[3]Evidence of trepanation has been found in prehistoric human remains from Neolithic times onward. The bone that was trepanned was kept by the prehistoric people and may have been worn as a charm to keep evil spirits away. Evidence also suggests that trepanation was primitive emergency surgery after head wounds[4]to remove shattered bits of bone from a fractured skull and clean out the blood that often pools under the skull after a blow to the head. Hunting accidents, falls, wild animals, and weapons such as clubs or spears could have caused such injuries. Trepanations appear to have been most common in areas where weapons that could produce skull fractures were used.[5] The primary theories for the practice of trepanation in ancient times include spiritual purposes and treatment for epilepsy, headache, head wound, and mental disorders.[6]



Man!, every time I read dgarretson`s post, I crack up. It is a genius answer. 
Kenjit, I like your thinking and trying to see things "nobody" has thought of, but can you tell me in your experience, a good speaker that addressed this issue or have you heard, any speakers that "checks" your ideal speaker. I am about to upgrade speakers, and want to keep all options open.
Regarding your response:
"Thats a silly question. Sound is subjective. Anything can sound better than anything else. The question is.."
Since you brought "subjective" in your "objective" evaluation of Magico speakers, this speaker`s "noise" has been music to many and hence well acclaimed all over the world. May be there is a need for some "noise" to keep it musical. 
If noise is musical it should be on the recording. Noise should not be added to every recording by the speaker. That is WRONG.

Magico speakers are supposed to be noiseless designs. That is why they use heavy strong boxes. But as I've pointed out, there are many sources of noise and if you dont eliminate them all, you will still be left with some noise. The fact that they have made an omission is therefore not intentional, it is unforgivable given the cost of these things.
