The Ultimate Magico

Sunday, January 19, 2014

On passive display in the room adjoining their demonstration room was a single Magico Ultimate v.3 horn speaker. A five-way design costing a mind-boggling $600,000/system, the speaker’s higher-frequency horns feature a Tractrix flare that blends into the baffle.

Seen from behind, I was reminded of something I have felt for a long time: that a successful full-range horn speaker must be a multiway design, as a horn’s linear passband is relatively limited by the cutoff of the flare at the low-frequency end and by the internal reflections from the mouth of the horn at the high-frequency.
