Magico - Wide vs. Narrow

Hi Everyone,

I'm not looking to buy, but I am a big fan of wide baffle speakers.  I realized recently that Magico had a history of making wide baffle speakers (like the M5) which they seem to have gone away from in the current generations. 

I'm curious if any fans have had a chance to hear both and if they have a preference, or impression especially in regards to being able to hear the recording space and imaging.

Thanks!

Erik

The American peer group of speakers at that time Thiel, Vandersteen, Snell, Dunlavey all delivered excellent sound w value drivers and certainly different design principles… A wide sweet spot is by definition lossy. Probably should widen out my list of RIP for the various genius no longer with us.

l think a lot more goes into that, and even if lossy, often highly desirable by most music lovers, if not necessarily by audiophiles entranced by imaging.

I have the magico q7 the only weight 750 lbs each after thier ozempic diet.i dont think in this economy they can afford to make 750 lbs speakers out of metal.they have many internal bracing.read they review it has pictures. When loud you can put your hand and the cabinet and zero vibration.i would love to hear thier 750k speakers.made in America like Squires products. I would have to win the powerball for that magico.enjoy the music.
