Magico LLC – Advanced Design Insights & Factory Tour

They tell me it’s a dry spell in San Francisco. More of a drought really. So as the aircraft descends without slipping through the lightness of a single cloud, I land at SFO International Airport, having trekked from Sydney via a quick Honolulu gate-skip. As I lean on the wall of the window seat, I’m bathed by a Californian sunshine which I’m told has dried-run for months. A contrast from the endless webbed feet-producing deluges in Sydney. The purpose of my visit? A surprise invitation, weeks prior, from Alon Wolf Magico LLC’s CEO to experience the ideologies and activities at the company’s HQ. And to be blissed-out by a very special musical treat…

Retail Store Profile – Hi End Audio, a Very Private Affair

As consumers, there’s little doubt that online shopping and the way we go about sourcing and receiving products (collection points, delivery services, pick-up lockers, etc.) has changed profoundly in the last few years. Those changes apply across most areas of retail. Hell, we can even buy a car online without stepping into a dealership nor even test driving it! However, one of the last bastions of change is the high-end audio industry. It’s not so much that we, as audio enthusiasts, are resisting evolutionary adjustments but it’s more the experience of actually hearing a product, the tactile sensation and examination of the finely finished surfaces and finer design details. At high-end specialist Hi End Audio all those experiences and sonic adventures are available at your beck and call.

Bowers & Wilkins 803 D4 Loudspeakers

To an audiophile, the name Bowers & Wilkins is as ubiquitous as Stradivarius, Steinway and Elvis Presley. For many, it represents the pinnacle, the ultimate audio product they wish to someday own. In other words, Bowers & Wilkins creates benchmarks against which other brands struggle to compete on a quality, ingenuity and cost basis. Given only audiophiles will likely be reading this, I probably don’t need to say that Bowers & Wilkins, AKA B&W, is a speaker, headphone and lifestyle product designer and manufacturer par excellence. It probably annually spends more dollars on R&D than the GDP of many small countries. And its manufacturing ability and quality is incredible – when you compare the company’s products to other high-end audio manufacturers you have to marvel at how it can keep its prices so reasonable. Economies of scale – Bowers & Wilkins manufactures a lot of products.
