Standing on the shoulders of the past successes to create a new standard of technical excellence. Can there really be an answer to the question “Is there such a thing as a truly better loudspeaker?” At Magico, the energy is gathered out of the belief that the answer is a definitive “Yes.” Part of this belief stems from Magico’s love of music, and their conviction that its reproduction needs no interpretation. Ultimate signal fidelity is the constant conceptual kernel around which Magico balances every engineering decision; every piece of the puzzle. A Magico speaker is not a musical instrument – it’s a precise instrument in the service of music.
Beautiful complexity, beautiful simplicity. One look at the complex internal superstructure will be enough to impress that this is not simply another new loudspeaker. But, even this is merely suggestive. The surprise of the whole Q series undertaking was not that it exceeded Magico’s expectations, but by just how much. In having complete control of all the variables that go into the design and build process, Magico had confidence that a new paradigm could be set. The degree to which the Q series has allowed the listener to hear deep into the musical signal, however, is something for which the team at Magico could never had prepared.

Reviews
“Overall, the Magico Q5 was the smoothest, most detailed, least mechanical-sounding speaker I’ve heard. It sounded that way at what I used to think were impossibly low levels, and it sounded that way at uncomfortably loud levels”
“If you listen exclusively or mostly to acoustic music, you’ll find the Magico Q5 sets new standards in many areas of speaker performance—transparency, resolution of low-level detail, and freedom from boxy colorations—the Q5′s overall freedom from obvious colorations and mechanical artifacts and its audible lack of “box” put it in a league of its own, in my experience.”
- Stereophile, John Atkinson, Nov 2010
“Soundstaging was phenomenally wide and deep and imaging, in spite of the bass-bump and the huge distance between the speakers, was tight, with excellent centerfill and genuine three-dimensionality to voices and instruments”
