Magus Silver, Teresonic’s new compact loudspeakers, produces a remarkably smooth sound of pure silver coils, with only a few watts of power per channel.
“Magus Silver recreates the emotion of a live musical performance like no other design. Low power amplifiers, including vacuum tubes, will sound huge using a fraction of energy, compared to power hungry amplifiers and inefficient loudspeakers,” says Mike Zivkovic, president of Teresonic. “Magus Silver brings to compact speakers a breed of lifelike musicality – the magic of smooth sound of silver in full-range design and ultra-high efficiency.”
Silver is more expensive but superior conducting material, making Magus Silver one of the most natural sounding and eco-friendly designs available. Its small size matches the most popular compacts, but its ultra-high performance of 98 dB surpasses them by a wide margin. The coherence and realism produced by full-range, crossover-less design with silver coil drivers sets a new standard for the life-like tonal quality of voices and musical instruments.
Teresonic’s ultra-high efficiency simultaneously improves the sound quality and reduces energy costs. With a fraction of the power, Magus produces sound that is superior in clarity, coherence, reality and life. “Teresonic’s sound is amazingly natural and organic, with not the faintest hint of coloration,” says Neb Maricic, a baritone, one of the greatest Mozart Figaros. “They can recreate the experience of a concert hall in your home.”
While most speakers are sensitive to precise positioning in the speaker’s “sweet spot,” Magus delivers most of its magic anywhere in the room. Used as stand-mounted, bookshelf or tabletop sources, they provide freedom in positioning close to or away from walls and floors. This makes them uniquely suited for smaller listening rooms or offices. A dedicated stand is designed to enhance speaker’s sonic characteristics, with an adjustable shelf under the speaker functioning as a reflector plate to allow for fine tuning to the room acoustics.
With Magus, form follows function. Teresonic’s enclosures are beautifully sculpted and individually handcrafted like fine musical instruments. “Have you ever wondered why there are no square violins, trumpets, or acoustic guitars? So why do they make square speakers? Because it requires patience and painstaking attention to detail to make them like we do,” says Zivkovic. “Teresonic speakers are designed with the centuries-old proven techniques used in making fine musical instruments, combined with the latest science, materials and technology.”
Teresonic’s Magus Silver speakers retail for US$ 4,485 per pair with customized speaker stands retailing for $295. Customers get a 30-day Total Satisfaction Guarantee and a full three-year warranty. Specifications include a sensitivity of 98dB (1W/1kHz/1m), a bandwidth of 55Hz-22kHz ± 3dB, and a power handling of 2-100 watts.
