Hey @sciencecop
LOL, I suggest you call up Magico and offer your help...
Oh no, I am 100% sure they are choosing their tonal balance carefully.
If I hacked it would be to see if I could make the S line sound like the M line. :)
To suggest that Magico does not use vocal and piano in their demos is pretty weak. Makes we wonder if you ever been to such a presentation.
I’ve heard exactly one. At the Magico factory of the S1 Mk II. And yes, the vocal and piano was a lot shorter than all other music. Was it deliberate, do they do it all the time, I have no idea. But I present to you my sample size.
The genius you are, you should know that the S1 being a 2-way, will have no midrange enclosure…
I did not make that claim, so you’ll have to ask the original poster about that.
And this is one reason why I doubt plastic in the mid range is the cause. However, it’s not just about material but construction. You can make plastic non-resonant at certain frequencies if the 3D construction is done right.
What I find most interesting really is that the S, (a 2 way, shares this characteristic with a 3-way. Usually you have to compromise in some way with a 2 way and a 6" driver. Often you need to add a little extra bass somewhere to make it sound balanced, which is fine so long as you don’t directly compare it to a multi-way full ranger.
So, when I heard the S1, I thought "Huh, that is an interesting compromise."
But when I heard the S3 it made me think this is a design choice.
Also, I’d discourage you from using cynical ad hominem attacks here.Save it for social media.
