Very hot take: Zero platform innovation. Just stagnant overpriced design. This concept was explored fully in the B&W Nautilus. Nice parts though. Imagine a 300k speaker that can’t do a medium room at reference level.
What is nice about the parts? To an engineer the design is likely to seem a bit silly given the price. I presume the intention is to give the appearance of high quality engineering to those that lack engineering sensibilities. It is ultra-fi designed to be high prestige luxury goods for the very wealthy. No problems.
In defense of the Nautilus it was originally an engineering exercise before becoming what it is today after the company rather changed direction in the 90s with respect to the roles of marketing and engineering.
Looks like Magico will be announcing the M7s (or M8?) tomorrow slotted between M6 and M9. Any guesses on price? I’d guess $350k with M6 being $185k and M9 being $850k last time I checked. Hope it doesn’t require 2 amp channels per side like M9.
