Magico A3 Loudspeaker Overview


‘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’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.
