Magico’s S Series Brings Flagship-Level Technology to an Approachable Level

There’s no question that Magico speakers have earned a well-deserved reputation for pushing the envelope in ultra-high-end speaker technology and design. Not everyone, however, will spend the price of Porsche 911 on a speaker. However, the price of a Honda Civic might not be out of line for a speaker that can provide a superlative audio experience. 

Remember trickle-down economics from the 1980s? The jury is still out on how well that worked for the U.S. economy, but it works quite well for speaker design. The best speaker manufacturers, like Magico, throw everything they have into their flagship models. They experiment with and refine new materials, crossover networks, cabinet design, and other elements which make up great speakers. The flagship models, like the Magico M Series, get the best of everything. Other series down the line sport more approachable pricing but benefit mightily from all the R&D that went into the top tier. 

The Magico S Series is a beneficiary of trickle-down engineering. If you’re looking for an ultra-high-end speaker for your Westchester, NY listening room that doesn’t cost as much as a sports car but arguably delivers the same pleasure, take a closer look at the S Series below. 

dCS Vivaldi is Designed to be the Ultimate Listening Experience for Discerning Audiophiles

In the world of high-end audio, just about all the equipment and systems are good. You'd be hard-pressed to find a high-end speaker, amplifier, preamp, or DAC that somehow didn't deliver superior audio performance. You will, however, find differences in frequency response, imaging, presentation, soundstage, and many other factors. Discerning audiophiles, then, tend to look for systems and equipment that deliver the sound with all the detail, texture, and nuance of the original recording. 

That is no mean feat, and you might argue that this is the goal of any high-end audio company. The truth is most of them succeed at delivering an excellent presentation. And some go the extra mile in precision audio engineering to deliver a musical performance with that additional detail, nuance, and texture that makes it more memorable than the rest.

That’s what dCS Audio has done with its Vivaldi system. Using everything they’ve learned over three decades of pioneering products in digital audio, the Vivaldi aims to deliver a musical experience that is – in their words – technically precise and musically profound. As a premier dCS dealer serving Westchester, New York to New Jersey and Pennsylvania, we couldn’t agree more! Learn more about the incomparable dCS Vivaldi system below. 

Magico Takes a No-Holds-Barred Approach to Speaker Design and Engineering

The first thing you’ll notice when reading an article on Magico speakers is the descriptive phrases, like “relentless force,” “extreme,” and “intimidating.” When their latest flagship speaker, the M9, was introduced in 2020, it certainly stood up to the brand’s reputation. At 1,000 pounds and over 6.5-feet tall, it is Herculean in its presence. At $750,000 a pair, we can definitely say they are the Ferrari of speakers, the crème de la crème. Some say its sound reproduction is as close to true audio as you’ll find.

Fortunately, for audiophiles without million-dollar bank accounts, Magico also produces high-fidelity speakers at an attainable price. Let’s take a look at their product line and see if the world-renowned Magico speakers may be just what your Bergen County, NJ home needs.
