Magico S2 Pair

The New Magico S2 2025 The design objective was ambitious: create the most compact three-way S Series loudspeaker ever, with a size-to-performance ratio never achieved before. We at Magico are proud to say: mission accomplished. The S2 is a three-way, four-driver loudspeaker engineered to punch way above its 132-pound weight in all areas of sonic performance. The S2 is available in a generous selection of premium finishes: six Softec choices that are rich in color depth, smooth to the touch, and very durable; and six High Gloss finishes that are expertly polished to a lustrous shine with a clear top coat. The three-footer support system uses constrained-layer damping and premium materials for greatly enhanced sonic performance. Enclosure Magico is renowned for its no-holds-barred research-and-development projects and the S2’s was no different. A Polytec Laser Vibrometer was used to measure the vibration of the S2’s cabinet panels during development. This, along with the latest simulated 3D modeling, gave Magico the ability to address potential resonance early in the design process as opposed to using a band-aid approach afterward. The result is the S2’s compact-yet-refined cabinet, crafted entirely from extruded aluminum, a design that minimizes diffraction and maximizes strength. Unique to the S2: the enclosure is built around the largest single-piece extrusion Magico has yet produced. A full-length vertical brace is integral to the S2’s extruded cabinet, yielding increased rigidity and stiffness, while also enabling optimal damping strategies. This advancement, along with Magico’s tried-and-true S Series enclosure technology, meant that engineers were able to verify that the S2 exceeded the target results set for it: the enclosure will not add coloration to your music. Drivers Like the S3 and S5 before it, the S2 benefits from the Gen 8 Nano-Tec driver cone, which consists of an aluminum-honeycomb core sandwiched by graphene-reinforced carbon-fiber skins. The result has pushed distortion lower than ever before. In addition to vastly improved cone construction, Magico has invested three years on a new generation of driver chassis. With the S2, Magico introduces the first 7” driver that uses this advancement. The S2’s midrange is 5” in diameter and is equipped with a generous 75mm voice coil. Bass in the S2 is provided by a pair of newly developed 7” woofers. Both midrange and woofers have Gen 8 Nano-Tec cones built into third-generationchassis. The S2 produces a crystal-clear midrange and accurate, undistorted low frequencies with a maximum SPL of 109dB at 55Hz measured at 1 meter. The S2’s sophisticated 28mm tweeter is based on the flagship M9’s, and uses a diamond-coated beryllium diaphragm. The S2’s upper frequencies—extending to a staggering 50kHz—are detailed yet subtle and reveal highs that are revelatory in information retrieval.   Elliptical Symmetry Crossover The S2’s three-way Elliptical Symmetry Crossover (ESXO) is a topology of rare distinction. The crossover is implemented with an acoustical-target 24dB-slope using a Linkwitz-Riley filter. Maximum frequency and phase linearity is accomplished, while keeping intermodulation distortion to vanishing levels. The S2 uses a full complement of state-of-the-art components from Mundorf of Germany, including M-Resist Ultra foil resistors, which deliver greater power handling, increased transparency, and more sonic liquidity than previous components. New is the copper foil paper coil, which improves the noise floor by reducing microphonic effects. The result of the S2’s ESXO crossover is superior coherence from the speaker’s four drive units.
