To commemorate their 10th anniversary, Magico, based in Hayward, California, has announced the release of the M Project loudspeaker, a limited-edition model that they say incorporates elements from past Magico loudspeakers with some new technologies the company has just developed.
The M Project is a five-driver, three-way design comprised of a 1” beryllium-dome tweeter with a diamond coating; one 6” midrange driver, which they say was spawned from the midrange driver in the company’s top-of-the-line Q7; and three 10” woofers. The woofer, which has been developed specifically for this speaker, is said to have a motor system that allows for up to ½” of excursion. The midrange and woofers all have Nano-Tec cones. Magico claims that the M Project can reach output levels of 120dB in the bass and midrange regions (measured at 1 meter). Magico also states that the M Project’s sensitivity is 91dB and that its frequency response extends from 20Hz to 50kHz.
Unlike the company’s current-generation Q- and S-series designs, which feature cabinets crafted entirely from aluminum, the M Project speaker features carbon-fiber-based side panels. Each M Project speaker weighs 400 pounds and is 56”H x 23”D x 15”W. The company says that they will make 50 pairs of M Project speakers. Each pair will carry a retail price of $129,000 in the United States.
