Magico was created over a decade ago for the sole purpose of leading a no-holds-barred assault on what is possible in contemporary loudspeaker design.
Inspired by the unique vision of industrial designer Alon Wolf, every Magico speaker is designed against the standard of perfect audio reproduction - live music.
In 1994, more than a decade before he founded Magico, Alon Wolf set out to build for himself the perfect speaker system.
La Inteligencia Artificial Y El Realismo Mágico
“In the new millennium there has been no more influential loudspeaker—no loudspeaker that has had a more profound effect on the way other loudspeaker manufacturers design and style their products—than these massive, beautiful, stand-mounted two-ways from upstarts Alon Wolf of Magico. The Mini and Mini II set new standards for neutrality, resolution, dynamic range, frequency extension, and musicality in compact speakers—and they did so not just by upping the ante on the way enclosures, drivers, and crossovers were built but also by upping the ante on the science that speaker manufacturers brought to bear on designing enclosures, drivers, and crossovers.”
“It is very rare for sound and technology to converge so precisely on the same goal, but this is exactly what has happened, in this case. The V2 is a painstakingly designed and immaculately voiced, loudspeaker”
“The V3 is a speaker that has lofted the brand into the company of the very, very best that audio has to offer. To some, that might seem cocky and arrogant of the Magico people; a brand should spend decades working its way up to hanging out with the best. But if so, it’s the cocky arrogance of one who knows they have something to be cocky and arrogant about. It’s the swagger of a 100m Olympic Gold medalist, the confidence of the Formula One winner, the surety of a mathematician, knowing they’ve just submitted a prize-winning thesis.”

“The words "the best" have been bandied about quite a bit in this magazine…and there is legitimate concern that they are being overused. Unfortunately no other words will do to describe how I feel about the Magico M5. Not only has it redefined an entire genre of speakers for me, it has carried me substantially closer to the absolute sound.”
“As a work of industrial art, the Magico Q5 is beautiful...When you first listen to it, the Q5 may also sound uninvolving because it has little or no personality of its own. But in a loudspeaker, that's what you want. The longer I listened, the more I appreciated the Q5's ability to get out of the way and let the recording's own personality assert itself.”
“The Magico Q3 is a standard setter that liberates music from the impediments inherent to typical loudspeakers. It is for those of you who don’t like speakers but do love music. The experience of hearing the Magico Q3 is something truly unique. Folks, the Q3 is a bona fide state-of-the-art loudspeaker -- one that doesn’t cost a hundred grand a pair, or even close to it. Magico might just take over the loudspeaker world after all.”

“Not only is the Magico Q1 an excellent loudspeaker, it will help bring out excellence in future loudspeaker designs. Rival manufacturers will need a solution that challenges this speaker, fast. That being said, I think I’m comfortable in saying it’s going to be some time before anyone catches up with the Q1. Few companies could even start to build with the dedication and single-mindedness that is needed to build a speaker this fantastic.”
I’ll take that several steps further to say the Q7 is the single most impressive product—in any category—that I’ve come across in more than 23 years of full-time reviewing.
“A speaker capable of reproducing pitches, timbres, durations, and dynamics with a clarity and precision that make every other speaker I’ve auditioned—including some truly great ones—sound slightly “smeared” in comparison.”

“In short, this was one of the most – if not the most – significant audio encounters I’ve had in my career, and those 50 owners are some of the luckiest audio enthusiasts out there.”
