‘Magico’ and ‘affordable’ are not
two words that typically find themselves in the same sentence but this iconic
US loudspeaker brand is making a concerted effort to bring its technology to a
wider music-loving audience. So the new A-series could never be described as
‘budget’ but its A3 floorstander – predicted to sell between £12-13,000 when
available in the first quarter of 2018 – is still more accessible than the
existing S-series with its extruded alloy cabinets.

| Magico A3 Loudspeaker |
Magico’s first
all-aluminium loudspeaker was the Q5, launched in 2010, and it’s this
longstanding series that has proved the inspiration for the three-way,
four-driver A3. In similar fashion, its cabinet is constructed from sheets of
6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminium, thinner here of course, but comprehensively
braced by an internal alloy framework and finished in a brushed black
anodising. Magico rates the A3’s sensitivity at 88dB, the four drivers within
the 50kg cabinet married by a fourth-order ‘elliptical’ crossover. The tweeter
is a 1in beryllium dome, derived from the exclusive M-Project, and equipped
with a sealed back chamber.
The midrange is a 6in carbon-fibre/’Nanographene’-coned
unit with an overhung neodymium magnet assembly and 75mm titanium voice coil. The
same motor arrangement is used by the two 7in woofers with their ‘Gen 8 Magico
Nano-Tec’ cones. Like all Magico speakers, the A3 is a sealed-box design.
