- The Magico M7 is the little brother of the world's most expensive speaker, the M9. Stereo+ was the first hifi-magazine in the world to listen to them. With a price tag of 375.000 dollar, they are not cheap, but the big brother costs 750.000 dollar!
❤❤❤😊 these are perfect!
375,000 I wouldn't even consider it if I had the pocket money to buy it and it sounded unbelievable. There is a price range where the price becomes insanity.
Theres nothing insane about it when you have the money. There are 756 Billionaires living in the USA. Dropping 375K for them is like you or me dropping $3.75
@@majicogarcia8417has nothing to do with US, which is a terrible 2-channel music industry market. They’ll sell 25 of these in Asia for every one sold in US
These are for people who can drop $375,000 on lunch.
Great world premiere :)
there is so much talk about rooms, i heard that this room is amazing, i wonder, what would speakers sound like without a room, in the open ? in a garden, with a removable roof and walls on rails to protect them when not in use ?
Im pretty happy with my Klipsch RF7iii and I had enough left over to buy a 3 bedroom 2.5 bathrooms with a finished 16x25 dedicated media room. I'm sure these are nice though, I hear Bezos has them in his guest bathrooms. :P lol
World's first GRANITE Open Baffle Speakers from MACO Acoustic ! You got to hear these speakers ! 😇😍🤩
great world premiere
👍
👍💯👍❤💪
Box stuffers and not even active. You could get Avantgarde iTron active horns with subs for that price. And if you wanted accurate I bet ATC SCM150’s have a flatter response.
immer auf dem teppich bleiben,die besten lautsprecher der welt....😅
That price is a shame....... well, not to rich audiophiles
There that good they need subs 🤣
Smaller speaker same mids and tweeter, yep ..!!!
Looks really good - what are the 2 subs u have hidden in the corners ? :)
It even says in the video…
Magico Titan 15
Not many high-end amps can drive two 9 inch drivers and two 12 inch drivers in a sealed cabinet. Perhaps top five solid state amps in the world would be up to the task.
As soon as he said "maybe it's to bright, lets change the cable" he lost so much credibility. Also the cable risers didn't help either ;\
And when it comes to the listening impressions, you really shouldn't forget that lots of what you are hearing is the room, it really loks well built which helps SO much with the sound presentation.
You could be 50 - 75 pairs of used Dunlavy SC-V, arguably the most accurate speakers ever built, for that price.
we live in the crazy world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those rare moments I find an exceptional control room with truly revelatory sound, it is never a multi-driver array type. It is instead as close as possible to a point source and typically a 2-way full range. A handful of Meyer and JBL have satisfied that revelatory metric, and a few Genelecs as well.
It is physically impossible for these Magicos to be “100% faithful to the music” as implied. That much is physics-based, factual, understood by me as well as anyone trained in acoustic science. It can be shown why, and hearing is proof.
Unfortunately, the audiophile community has very different goals to us in the music production field. They buy image, we couldn’t care less how something looks. They spend as much as humanly possible, we look for the most affordable perfection we can swing.
What about frequency response, is it 20Hz to 20Khz, +,- 3db? or 1db or 0.5db. Customers should expect +, - .5db with that price tag. If it's +, - 3db, it's just a nicely finished heavy weight furniture.
No one should really care about frequency response, other than being with +/- 5 dB. No room is perfectly flat even if the speakers are close to being perfectly flat. And more importantly: flat response sounds terrible. Dull, lifeless and analytic. If that’s what you’re after, go for it.
bello.💔💔💔💔💔💔
Se ti affidi alla scienza spendi il giusto e ottieni un'esperienza di qualità, questa roba è fuffa.
Half the price of what exactly?
Their M9 speakers. It is a little humour 😊
Who is the music at the beginning
Only Free Music from the RUclips-liberary
Ice & Fire (featuring Son Little & Mike Chiavaro) King Canyon, Eric Krasno, and Otis McDonald
High production quality, a lot of work went in to it.
For presenter would recommend to talk in engineering terms and dress presentable, you can tell from body language that he is not taken seriously.
I take it seriosly, but I want to present hifi relaxed and with a smile 😊
How many W are they?
What do you mean?
He is probably asking how many watts the speakers can handle. What is the optimal power for these speakers?
Jeanneau 54 vs M7 , it’s a Bargain .. :)
There's no world's best speaker!
Vielen Dank für die deutschen Untertitel.
LOL they just charge whatever they want for it
It’s interesting… but what if, the instrumentation / sound-profile in electronic music is constructed on the expectation of ‘boom’ / port-resonance? What if the speaker and its ‘erroneous’ properties are a part of what the original recorded sound anticipates: expects? There is no such thing as ‘neutral’ because there is an interpretive/reproductive anticipation even at the level of the performer/instrument.
Things like this shouldn’t be this expensive! The materials that they use for loudspeakers generally aren’t that extensive to put together. CNC machines are expensive.
Mostly it’s the tooling, R&D, marketing and dealer mark ups. Dealers get at least $175k. Shipping something like this is 5-10k. Material 25k. Labor 20k. But, tooling and factory overhead can be over 40k. Also, attending to various shows and store events can be a half million a year. A the end the day, Magico profits $50k if it’s lucky. They will sell maybe 100 of these, max 300. Sure, $5-15 millions is good money. But, Magico makes bigger money from their cheaper speakers like A series and S series. They need these flagships like in order to sell the cheaper speakers.
There are certainly plenty of other options at lower price points. We all have a budget cap. Some people can buy two pairs of these!😊
@@klaymoon1 So you're saying dealers get nearly half of the full price? I'm just imagining if I had to release a speaker like this and just hand over half my profits to a dealer. Thats ridiculous. I would be out of business.
@@surfshop7552 35-50% margin. Lesser known companies can pay higher. The worst is when there is a separate wholesaler. Then, 65% of the purchase price can be margins. And, there can be rebates. But, the dealers give the discount out of their margin. So, when a dealer gives 20% discount, they are ‘merely’ taking 30% margin.
@@surfshop7552 That does seem way high to me as well.
LMFAO
Let’s start with time alignment before it can be called the world’s best!
What orchestra or band is time aligned? 🤦♂️
@@MichaelM-to4sg ALL of them! You don't understand - when a violin plays a note, it is inherently "time aligned" as it comes from the same source! The multi-driver speakers are what necessitate time alignment for proper sound.
@@Fluterrado higher frequency notes travel to your ears faster than low frequencies? Is this the idea behind time alignment?
The next time I am listening to a piano player, or guitar player, or whatever player, I will explain to them that they should play the higher notes a little bit behind the beat, and the lower notes a little bit ahead of the beat, so all of the high and low notes arrive at my ears at the same time.
@@zenlandzipline No. You must have not had your coffee or whatever when you wrote this. The issue is that ALL FREQUENCIES need to arrive at the same time. If you have multiple drivers, unless they are time aligned, they will NOT arrive at the same time because they are not physically in the same place. Get it??
@@Fluterra no. I don’t get it. If all of your speakers are 10 feet away from your ears, do all of the frequencies arrive at your ears at the same time? Or, do higher frequencies travel faster, therefore, you would place your tweeters and horns a little bit further away in distance than the low mid speakers, woofers, and subwoofers? I honestly don’t know anything about time alignment. I drink a ton of coffee before I start my day, so, it couldn’t have been that. It could be that I just don’t understand what you’re talking about. Could you explain?
I can’t fathom spending this much money for a traditional driver in a box design that is not time-aligned! Absolutely nuts.
I have no idea what I am talking about as a customer, can you give me some examples of time aligned speakers that are superlative in sound?
@@ilaion11 Wilson comes to mind, the higher end models have better time alignment, but they all have it some way. It’s all about trade-offs. I happen to think time alignment is important.
@@Fluterra ok, makes sense now, but this is physical time alignment by having the sources at different depths, how about electronic time alignment buit into the crossover?
@@ilaion11 yes, that totally works, especially with a digital source. With an analog source I don't love that because you are converting to and from digital
@@Fluterra both Magico and Monitor Audio, to name just two companies, seem to make use of the so called .
It works with analog sources very well, if analog means analog amps. Probably I don't know what you mean by analog sources. It that means turnables, then I do not care much because I will never go down that rabbit hole, I am fully content with CD playing and streaming.
Looks great! But for $375k, I wish it was bigger. At least 6 inch taller. For a price of a small condo, it must look expensive as well. M9 looks like a million dollar speaker because they look special, its unique presence commences whatever ask for kind of pricing. As expensive as it is, it passes that hard to find test. But, M7 will make your wife and guests to scratch their heads and look at you with that certain look. I’m sure M7 sounds fantastic, but its appearance/presence does not justify the asking price for a guy like me who does not have unlimited resources yet. At least, Wilson’s $375k speakers have the presence. The sound alone is not enough for this kind of money. It must have the presence. So, whoever the marketing guy who said it must be under a certain dimension otherwise the shipping will be too expensive and the dealers will hate it, he doesn’t know what he is talking about.
500.000€ in Europa
Stereopluss, have You been to the Audio Show in Warsaw last weekend?
We have an report in our magazine, but we didn`t film anything this year. But I think we`re going back to make som videos next year.
It’s too expensive even if one ☝️ has the money 💰
I would never buy Magico speaker. Not the electronics that can be seen on the video.
Price
375.000 dollar
Clearly an advertising puff piece for Magico. While I’ve not heard these nor M9, the 7 different Magico speakers I’ve heard, none were what I would consider best in class in either soundstage, imaging, dynamics nor fit & finish.
If I wanted a dynamic speaker of this size, I’d be looking at VonSchweikert Ultra 7 and still have enough cash left for quality SET DHT amps and some VTL monoblocks to biamp them.
We paid for the trip and stay in San Fransico ourself. We give a first impression of the speakers and also say something about the drawbacks with a extreme neutral speaker as M7. Remember is a total different speaker than the M6 and we heard it in a extreme Good room. We also said everything fall into place with two subwoofers connected. Maybe the Ultra 9 sound better, but what we usually do in our Magazine is to compare speakers in a listening test before we decide what is best.
One piece of advice, you should also at least listen to see what those sound systems sound like, don't you think? The audio is not just for looking, the most important thing is how it sounds....
I’ve listen to them and tell what I think in the end of the video 😊
It's a bargain it's a bargain can anybody lend me the money 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice contend but talking in a language only a few percentage of people talk seems a little out of place…
Boring.
Too bad the aesthetics are awful. B&W and to a lesser degree Focal, are the only brands who dont make high end speakers look like dog turd
High end B&W legit look like Squidward choked on his clarinet though. In my book, old Raidho and AudioVector make high quality build and beautiful aesthetic wise. Wilson Audio too
