Magico Factory Tour

On March 1st, Magico hosted the Audiophile Foundation for tours at their factory location in Hayward California. David Shackelton gave a tour to 58 entusiastic attendees. David covered the history of Magico's speakers, then took us through all the steps it takes to make current Magico speakers. Their CNC system which creates their characteristic curved aluminum cabinets was particularly fascinating, as was Dave's demonstration of the cutting edge measurements and engineering that goes into developing new models.
Alon Wolf took us through a listening session in their precisely built and acoustically treated listening room, which featured the new S5 loudspeaker fronted by a Wadax digital system and Plinius electronics. Many members were commenting that the listening was a peak audiophle experience. I think some new Magico super fans were made this day!
Rob Clevenger filmed and edited an excellent video of the experience for us. Enjoy!
