MAGICO ACC 3 way High Performance Center Speakers
Aircraft Grade Aluminum Enclosure
The ACC enclosure is constructed using 3⁄8” thick 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum, similarly to the enclosure developed for the Q1 and is available in an elegant brushed, black-anodized aluminum finish. An innovative internal bracing technique along with the most advanced damping materials makes the sealed enclosure incredibly rigid and free of unwanted mechanical resonances. The finished enclosure design of the ACC is evaluated in simulation using the latest FEA software along with physical testing to meet the no-compromise requirements of Magico for optimized enclosure rigidity, stability and to ensure benchmark acoustical standards.
High Frequency Driver
The ACC tweeter follows the A3 with a pure Beryllium-diaphragm tweeter with an optimized 28-mm dome surface which is based on the fundamental design platform and geometry of our reference M-Series tweeter design. The customized neodymium motor system is encased in an improved back chamber with our latest generation damping materials that facilitate ultra-low distortion, higher power handling, massive dynamic capabilities and extended linear voice coil movement.
Midrange Driver
The 6-inch midrange driver, also deployed in the A3, features a Multi-Wall carbon fiber cone with a layer of XG Nanographene, providing an optimal stiffness to weight ratio and an ideal damping factor. The driver frame has been simulated and tested for the optimal combination of stiffness and damping. Minimum acoustical impact is achieved through reducing vibration modes while maximizing air flow. An overhung neodymium-based motor system incorporates extra-large magnets to ensure a stabilized magnetic field in the 75-mm pure titanium voice coil. The ACC midrange driver is optimized for minimal music related distortions in its band pass, in both the frequency and time domains using latest state of the art FEA simulation of acoustical, mechanical, electromagnetic and thermal behavior.
Bass Driver
Extended low bass frequencies which are incredibly deep and fast result from 7-inch bass drivers (x2) that are found in the A3 which are produced with advanced manufacturing techniques using Multi- Wall carbon fiber with a layer of XG Nanographene. Powerful neodymium magnets control a 75-mm pure Titanium voice coil that has long throw excursion and produces clean, undistorted sound pressure levels. Individual driver performance and the ACC loudspeaker in its final form are tested and optimized for acoustical, mechanical, electromagnetic, and thermal behaviors using the latest state-of-the-art Finite Element Analysis simulation testing equipment.
Crossover
The drivers in the ACC are acoustically integrated using Magico’s proprietary Elliptical Symmetry Crossover topology that utilizes state-of-the-art components from Mundorf of Germany. The dividing network features a 24db per octave Linkwitz-Riley filter that maximizes frequency bandwidth while preserving phase linearity and minimizing intermodulation distortion.

Great photos. I'm curious about the stands for the A1. Looks like it would make a wonderful front, center and rear channel HT set up. The A3/ASub combo should also be a good combination. For about $20K, I wonder if people will choose the A3 plus one ASub or the A1 and two ASubs. This is pretty exciting news from Magico.

2 subs for audio
1 + for home theater
1 + for home theater
Thank you professor. I understand that. I was asking this question for 2-channel audio: "For about $20K, I wonder if people will choose the A3 plus one ASub or the A1 and two ASubs." In other words, for the same amount of money, I wonder what combination people would prefer.
Guessing - A3 with one ASUB (to start, and add a second later). Just better/easier integration I'm sure. Of course, for two channel, I'm of the belief of "two subs or none".

For me Magico was a company who's effort was on the best, most innovative speakers they could design.
Now it seems like they want to ultimately be in Best Buy and Music Direct with this new range of products with the Magico name on the front.
Alon better be careful because the spotlight in this business changes in a second and right now it doesn't feel very bright........

Gotcha
I would guess the A1 w 2 subs would sound better. But I would also guess that the A3s will play louder.

Thanks for posting this link, Mike. I was surprised to read the second sentence:
"A few hours ago the Magico A3 speakers finally arrived. I'm not sure if any of floor-standing speakers created such interest as these four-ways. "
Are the Magico A3s really four-way designs? I had always thought they were three-ways.

OR, the strategy could be to get people into the brand sooner and then get them to move up the range.
I would not have considered Magico at all in the past due to the price points, but I'm soon to take delivery of A3's. Just shopping for them and listening to them has already greatly increased my brand awareness. I could see M2's for example in my future if all goes well!

Yes the obvious strategy except Magico can't deliver in a timely fashion. I'm not sure a A range customer is one to wait many months to take delivery. On the other hand maybe it will work like it has for Magnapan.....Congrats on your new speakers!

What would you consider to be a "timely fashion" for delivery of a newly built Magico? I waited about 8 weeks for my S7's and I don't consider that a inordinate amount of time to wait for a hand built SOTA loudspeaker. Considering the huge amount of pleasure i'm now experiencing, it was well worth the wait. The anticipation and build -up to delivery was really fun to experience.
