So this is basically the Alexia fighter, right?

Also, how does M Gloss stack up to WilsonGloss? Don't see many Magicos with it.

I would think that this can compete with the Wilson MAX. It's priced just more than the Alexia, but may perform at the level or better than the MAX. I am struck by how many people actually prefer the S5 to the Alexia at much less cost.

Note the tapered-towards-rear top plate, driver configuration and outriggers very similar to the M Project.

I'd like to see the sales figures for both speakers.

I think the Alexia basically was better than the Maxx.

In fact, Maxx 4 is probably due next. See multiple pairs of 3s available used on the cheap.

Wow, I hadn't heard that. Smaller, cheaper and better sounding. That is a great set of attributes. So it seems that Wilson needs something between the Alexia and the XLF.

Magico now has eight current models (4 S and 4 Q), excluding the M Project, 2 subs and the HT speakers, plus the Ultimate 3. That's a lot of models. If they slowly upgrade the existing S and Q lines, that will keep them going for quite some time.
