Cube Audio Magus Full Range Speakers in Black

Description

For sale are my stunning Cube Audio Magus F8 full range passive speakers, finished in gloss black.

These speakers are made by the Polish speaker brand Cube Audio who developed and produced the F8 full range driver from scratch to the most exacting specifications over 2 years of trial and testing. All drivers and loudspeakers are handmade in Poland. Pursuing the highest quality and longevity, the manufacturing process involves both artisan craftsmanship and modern precise computer-controlled CNC machines.

These are superlative speakers that not only sound superb but also have an unprecedented frequency response when measured.

Designed to perfectly complement rooms from 12 to 25 square metres, these speakers perform to extraordinary levels. They have a high sensitivity at 92db making them a perfect accompaniment to valve/tube amplifiers from 3w per channel.

Tge cabinets use transmission line technology to drive really deep, with a measured 38hz at the bottom end, but actual results seem far deeper with fantastic speed and bass articulation. They are ported from the bottom so benefit from a solid base. Mine were used on two pieces of marble.

To give you an idea of their amazing sound, here is a sample of what the reviewers are saying:

"Clean, pinpoint imaging, fantastic layering, and fast. I expected these speakers to be more uplifted in the treble region, but there was a beautiful layer of dense colour. Admittedly, a very difficult balance to achieve in an audio system." - Jay Luong, Audio Bacon.

"Real instruments and vocals are bread and butter for full range drivers, and the Magnus Loudspeakers shine very brightly. But here is the major twist - they work with every type of music without hinting at a struggle. I strongly believe that Magnus can hold its ground against regular two or three-way speakers with ease in this regard. They are that good." - David Grzyb, Hi-Fi Knights.

I used these with a beautiful Viva Preciso Custom valve amp (also advertised - see my listings) using 2A3 valves (the 'custom' description is a Viva special order swapping in 2A3 valves for the standard 300b valves) and the sound was so beautiful that selling them is a real test of willpower. This is one of the most perfect pairings I've encountered. The 2A3 valves add real precision and pace to the sound, swapping out the slightly fuller but woolier sound of the 300b for faster, more dynamic and more detailed presentation. The speakers responded perfectly, demonstrating huge scale and dynamics with a tonality that is just incredible. Vocals are conjured from nothing, piano and orchestral music is pinpoint with a layer of warmth that makes you want to listen for hours.

Ive also paired these with a set of NuForce Reference 8 V3se class D monoblocks at 165w per channel, and they sound equally fantastic but in a different way - they lose some of the richness and warmth of presentation but gain added detail and crispness.

Regardless of what you pair them with, these full range speakers are truly special with killer dynamics and utterly mesmerising sound staging.

This example are in lovely working condition with one or two knocks as show in the images. One speaker has a slight ripple in the front cabinet that can only be seen in certain light. There is a small dent on one top corner and a little nick in one side. The inner horn cone on one speaker has been bent slightly which has left a mark. This is NOT a tear, and is purely noticeable because the drivers are doped paper so it's left the image of a crease. The driver is perfectly intact and performs perfectly.

These weight 30kg each so collection is advised. These currently retail at £9950 new.
