On a snowy day in March 2019, the first room I visited at the Montreal Audio Fest, hosted by retailer Audio by Mark Jones, featured the
world premiere of the Magico M2 loudspeaker. The soundstaging produced by these elegant towers was palpable, the full-range tonal balance superbly uncolored. Both aspects reminded me of my experience of Magico's S5 Mk.II loudspeaker, which I enthusiastically reviewed in
Stereophile's
February 2017 issue. Accordingly, I made a note that the M2 was going on my "must review" list. Seven months later, Magico's
Alon Wolf and Peter Mackay visited to set up a pair of M2s in my listening room.
