Magico S2 Ready for World Premiere at Munich High End 2025

Magico's S2 loudspeakers may have quietly made their debut last December, but all eyes will be on them once again as they take centre stage for their official world premiere at High End Munich 2025.
The new S2 is being showcased for demonstration in Atrium 4, 1st floor, Room F-115 (4.1 / F-115) at High End Munich 2025 and marks the entry point to the California-based brand’s acclaimed S Series. While details of the three-way floorstander were first revealed in StereoNET’s coverage by Jay Garrett, Munich offers the first chance for many to hear them in the flesh—and we’ll be there to do just that.
Magico says the S2 is designed to defy expectations regarding scale and sonic authority. At just over 60kg apiece, the speakers may be compact by Magico standards, but they incorporate the same no-compromise design DNA as their larger siblings. That includes a cabinet milled from the company’s largest single-piece aluminium extrusion, and a full-length vertical brace that reportedly yields exceptional rigidity with minimal diffraction.
Internally, the S2 benefits from the eighth-generation Nano-Tec cone material in both the midrange and newly developed 7-inch woofers. These are paired with a diamond-coated beryllium tweeter based on the M9 flagship design, promising an extended, detailed top end reaching up to 50kHz. Crossover duties are handled by the latest iteration of Magico’s Elliptical Symmetry Crossover (ESXO), using premium Mundorf components for maximum linearity and phase coherence.
We’re told the speaker’s performance isn’t just about measurement precision but also real-world impact—with a claimed maximum SPL of 109dB at 55Hz from a 7” woofer, Magico is confident the S2 delivers bass that belies its footprint. Available in a selection of gloss and Softec finishes, the S2 also features a custom three-footer support system for optimal decoupling and vibration control.
With the S2 set to make its public debut at Munich, Magico fans and industry watchers alike can finally judge how this new model stacks up to its acclaimed S Series siblings. If it lives up to the spec sheet—and Magico’s reputation—this might be one of the most talked-about speakers of the show.
StereoNET will be reporting from High End Munich 2025, so stay tuned for hands-on impressions and show highlights.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
