Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing Magus – one of the finest monitor loudspeakers ever made.
We hope that magic of Magus will reveal the best of your music collection and provide
many listening pleasures for years to come. It’s all about music after all.
eresonic Magus monitor speakers are designed to produce the most natural sound of exceptional
clarity and levels of detail, neutrality and stereo imaging that are beyond anything else in their category.
That is accomplished using unique and very advanced acoustic design, the finest components and
materials available, and by avoiding every unnecessary component or gimmick that can introduce
sound coloration, interference or distortion – leading to musical reality of a concert hall or a jazz club
transferred to your listening room.
New life for your music yet perfectly natural
Every sound source in nature is “punctual” radiating sound waves around them – whether it’s a violin, a
trumpet, or a human voice. Teresonic speakers follow that basic design rule of the Nature. Conventional multi-
driver designs are based on the idea that it’s fine to divide up the frequency range to be reproduced by using a
crossover to assign parts of the frequency range to different drivers. This introduces multiple interfering sound
sources (speaker drivers in the cabinet) which lead to complex and unpredictable cancellations and
reinforcements between sound waves – leading to sound coloration, and distortion. In addition, musical
instruments or human voices reproduced by multiple sources, each source (driver) with its own location,
timing and resonances, creates lack of “coherence”.
This lack of coherence in multi-way speakers creates a problem for the human ear as it tries to identify the
stream of musical data and send it to the brain to compose many elements into a perceptual whole that we
experience as music. While the human brain is incredibly capable, the parts that do not fit well alert the brain
that there is something wrong – and this can cause listening fatigue. This is often an issue, even with high-end
multi-way systems.
Teresonic single-driver design using full range, very high-efficiency drivers, provides natural sound with a
wealth of detail, coherence, exceptional dynamic range and a sense of musical “aliveness” that you seldom hear
elsewhere.

D E S I G N C U S T O M I Z A T I O N
The challenge is to make speakers that we can call transcendental - something that breaks boundaries and
creates emotion, but keeps the sound natural and intact, as it was in the concert hall or a recording studio.
Teresonic speakers operate legendary Lowther full-range speakers without crossovers. Conventional designs
put a crossover in the mid-range to split the signal between the bass driver and the tweeter. This is exactly the
range where human hearing is most sensitive. These crossovers introduce phase and balance changes that
cause deterioration in coherency, transparency and imaging. Even worse, most speakers go from a cone driver
for the bass to a tweeter with totally different sonic characteristics, such as a dome or ribbon tweeter.
The ability of the Teresonic speakers to speak across the full frequency spectrum with one voice, and with such
speed and lack of coloration, makes them seem all the more electrostatic. In the end, however, Teresonic
speakers will play much louder than all except the largest electrostatic speakers. They are so fast that you can
hit them with hard transients and they not only do not flinch, they start and stop on a dime and deliver the full
frequency and dynamic range of the signal. It is actually kind of hard to truly convey the full abilities of these
speakers.
Big performance even at 4 Watts per channel
Traditional monitors are usually rated at 86-88 db and require at least 20 Watts of power. The ultra-high 98 db
efficiency of Magus speakers enables low power amplifiers, or high power amplifiers operated at low power
levels, to achieve realistic sound levels in most – not just the smallest - rooms. The Teresonic will sound
outstanding and play plenty loudly with an 8 wpc 300B-based tube stereo amplifier, as well as a 25 wpc 845-
based tube amplifier, or any other SET designs. They also sound excellent when powered by a set of the push-
pull monoblocs that are rated at 100 wpc. With Teresonic speakers even sonic gems such as 3 wpc 2A3-based
amplifiers will deliver big performance. If 1 watt is good for 98 db, then 4 watts are good for a peak output of
about 104 db and 8 watts of about 107 db at one meter distance - and with the lowest distortion you have ever
heard in a loudspeaker.
Higher power solid-state amplifiers will benefit from operating on low power levels where the distortions are
lowest – or almost non-existent. Despite manufacturers “paper specifications” even the finest high-end
amplifiers will introduce some sound distortions and colorations when played at high power levels. This is
driven by laws of physics and various components’ characteristics that vary at different load levels. Higher the
load, more stress on the component, more difficult for designer to get perfect results – even harder at the high
end. The simple solution is to operate at lower power levels and enjoy your music unspoiled, as it was created
in its natural environment, and still have the big performance sound of concert hall.
Exceptionally detailed and clean sound
The unique Magus design, the result of some 20 years of research and experimentation, and Lowther’s speed
and accuracy are key for Teresonic speakers’ extremely clean and accurate midrange, the widest range of sound
audible to our ears, with tight low frequencies. It is also the simplest, purest, most uncolored approach to
design a system which allows the speaker drivers to operate in "free air," duplicating the motion of sound
waves emanating from both sides of a musical instrument in live performance.
The full-range, single-driver, no-crossover Magus design is the outstanding example of detailed and crystal clear
sound already established in Teresonic Ingenium and Integrum series, combined with a flair for reproducing

every type of music from rock to opera, jazz through folk. They have quite a punchy low end for their size.
Drums and percussion are reproduced with stunning weight and clarity. Notice precise duration and fine
separation between tones compared to overlapping and ‘lingering’ tones reproduced by most of traditional
multi-driver designs – regardless of their size or price range. You will find Magus speakers amazing – very
neutral, yet extremely clear and articulate.
Designed & handcrafted to endure the test of time
Form follows function and our enclosures are very attractive, sculpture-like shapes – a welcome addition to
any room. Any way you consider them – as a piece of art that sounds great or great sounding speakers in an
eye pleasing package, Magus monitors are built entirely by hand to highest standards using the finest materials
available. High gloss finish, applied in several layers of highest-quality Italian varnish, enhances the natural
wood veneer and superb craftsmanship that one may expect from the finest cabinet makers and in speakers
costing thousands more.
Designed like the finest music instrument, such as violin or cello, Magus’ elegant cabinet is specially shaped and
wall damped, ensuring that its internal structure resonates, vibrates and breathes at low frequencies as do fine
musical instruments. Special internal wall-damping and the port tune frequency has been adjusted accordingly
for optimal bass performance. The Magus cabinet may look deceptively simple but requires careful
handcrafting, with unique oval shapes and several critically damped and acoustically tuned compartments
(chambers), partitions and screens brought together by the skillful hands of our cabinetmakers.
True high end speakers such as Teresonic, need top quality drive units. We use the top of the line DX-series of
legendary Lowther drivers, considered the Rolls-Royce of the speaker industry, that are hand-made by
Lowther-Voigt Ltd in England. They incorporate extremely powerful magnets and ultra-light paper cones,
leading to extraordinary efficiency, transient response, and low distortion. They are possessed of a stunning
sense of aliveness and vitality, and have a degree of sonic invisibility that is both seductive and addictive.
Many high-end speakers on the market will use standard wiring inside the box between drivers and connectors
in the back of the box. Not so with Teresonic speakers. They are equipped with the worlds best WBT
connectors and the same high-end Clarison cables inside the box that are offered to connect to your amplifier.
Matching speaker cables and wiring inside the box is also important to maintain the same sonic character in the
entire audio chain – from your amplifier to the speaker and the drive-unit.

. Installing and wiring
our speakers are equipped with highest quality WBT binding posts that are a true five-way design and
will accept 6mm (1/4") or 8mm (5/16") spades, 4mm bananas, bare wire etc. There is no need for the
complicated and extra costs of bi-wiring, there are no crossovers to adjust…just connect the speaker
cables and enjoy the music.
Y
For optimal results Teresonic “zero interference” Clarison speaker cables are recommended to connect the
loudspeakers with your amplifier. Namely, the same ultra-high quality Clarison cables that are used inside the
speaker cabinet to connect speaker terminals in the back to the speaker driver. Using the same cables will
ensure the same character of the sound and the best overall sonic quality without coloration or distortions
Wiring
Connect the speaker wires to the terminals in the back of the speakers. For the perfect sound experience, the
right speaker must be connected to the output terminal marked "R" or "Right" on your amplifier and the left
speaker to the terminal marked "L" or "Left". A detail that is often overlooked is connection in correct phase,
i.e. the red terminal (+) on the amplifier should be connected to the red terminal (+) on the speaker, and the
white terminal (-) on the amplifier should be connected to the white terminal (-) on the speaker. (see Fig.1). If
just one speaker in a stereo or surround sound system is not connected in phase, the bass will be weak and the
overall sound will be diffuse.

Installation of Lowther drivers (optional)
Your Magus speakers are usually shipped with Lowther drivers installed, and ready for use. In certain situations,
such as to avoid driver damage during the transport, the drivers may be shipped separately in their original
packaging. In this case you need to install the drivers – an easy and straightforward process. It will also give you
an opportunity to peek inside your speaker’s fine acoustic chamber.
Inside the baffle opening you will see two internal cables equipped with gold plated Red (+) and Black (-) O-
rings. After cables are properly attached to the driver, they can be put in place in two baffle holes on the left
side (see figure 2) and tightened with four screws (provided) using the supplied tool.

Installation and operation
Place the speakers in their approximate location following recommendations in chapters four (Fine Tuning)
and five (Room Acoustics) for the best results.
It is worth noting that when the tone controls on your pre-amp are turned above the neutral setting this
significantly burdens both speakers and amplifier. In a good sound system tone controls should only be used to
compensate for poor recordings and not to permanently compensate for weaknesses elsewhere in the system.
Teresonic recommends that the tone controls generally be set to the neutral position, and you achieve your
desired sound image through correct positioning of the speakers.
Ensuring that you keep the volume low enough so the sound remains clear and undistorted will minimize the
strain on both speakers and amplifier. Care should be taken when using the loudspeakers with very high
powered amplifiers. Although Teresonic speakers are reasonably tolerant and have power handling of up to
100W, they are also extremely efficient and therefore require considerably less power than most loudspeakers in
the market. If audible distortion occurs, the amplifier or the loudspeaker is being overloaded and damage is
likely to result.
Should you be unfortunate enough to damage a drive unit either by accident or misuse, please ensure that it is
replaced only with an original DX55 Lowther driver. This will maintain the speakers’ performance.
Important! Break-in Period
With very few exceptions, dynamic loudspeakers have a break- in period, where the drive units “loosen
up”, during this time the bass will not display its full lower bandwidth and the speaker will sound brighter
than when “broken-in.” As the suspension material of the driver “softens up”, the fullness of the bass
and the smoothness of the treble will start to emerge.
The break-in process occurs naturally as music is played through your system. To reduce the time
required, it is recommended that the system be played continuously, using either a digital source in the
repeat mode (CD) or an FM broadcast signal (tuner).
1. Your Teresonic speakers went through a 100 hour initial break-in period in the factory
2. Your recommended break-in period is at least 200 hours best accomplished with relatively loud
and dynamic source material.
During the break-in period you will notice improvements such as increase in bass content and control, sound
image opening up, and the overall sound gaining in better and more involving presentation. It is therefore
recommended that the fine tuning of the entire system be delayed until after the break-in period is completed.

Chapter
Fine Tuning
Following these recommendations is critical to obtaining optimum results from your speakers.
our Teresonic speakers are among the finest loudspeakers ever designed to offer exceptionally natural
sound and the highest efficiency in its class. Still, fine tuning recommendations and room acoustics
suggestions are imperative to obtaining the best results. For example, selecting the proper room
position for your speakers can dramatically improve their overall performance.
Y
Speaker Placement
Although your Magus speakers may be placed in a wide variety of positions relative to the walls of the room,
including corners of the room, it is still recommended to experiment a bit to achieve optimal results. The
recommended position is Magus on its stand, with speaker’s drivers approximately at the same level as the
listener head /ears/. This rule should be also applied if speakers are positioned on a table or shelf. It is
recommended that speakers are positioned close to the back wall. This back wall loading will improve the bass
response in many rooms. See chapter five for details how to improve the room acoustics.
There is no suggested upper limit for the distances to the walls, even 10 feet to one wall and 15 feet to the other
wall will provide good results. However, regardless of the absolute numbers used, the most even bass response
will be attained if the distances from the side wall and rear wall are not overly similar. The following points
highlight the fundamental concepts in loudspeaker positioning covered in details in the next chapter five:

Positioning (Toe-In)
Adjusting the toe-in angle of the speakers is useful in tailoring the sound to match the characteristics of your
system and the listening room. When the speakers are facing straight forward, they tend to create a large,
expansive sound stage. As they are rotated toward the listening position, the image becomes more compact,
with increased focus, creating a greater sense of intimacy. Pointing the speakers inward is also helpful in
situations where strong reflections from the side walls are a problem.
Start with loudspeaker facing straight forward, which is according to our experience the preferred position for
listening, i.e. 20-30 degrees relative to the optimal listener position (see Fig.3), and play either a mono source, or
a stereo source with a distinct center image (e.g. solo instrument, human voice), through both channels. If the
image is not in the center carefully rotate the loudspeakers inward in small increments to bring the image in
precise center focus. Toe-in is rather delicate, and experimentation is necessary to achieve proper angle for your
listening situation. The optimum angle is usually 3-10 degrees inward
.
Fig. 3
Once you are happy with the positioning of your speakers, it is important to ensure that they are completely
stable. For floor models it is essential that you use the accompanying spikes.
Room acoustics
Listening your Magus speakers in a properly set-up room can be a startling experience. The listening room is
the final link of the playback system, as important – or more important, than other components in the chain:
1)Turntable, CD or SACD player, 2)Interconnect cables, 3)Amplifier, 4)Speaker cables, 5)Loudspeakers, and
6)Listening room. Some simple and relatively inexpensive adjustments can lead to superb results as described in
chapter five.
Some of the sound you hear comes not from the actual speakers but from reflections from floor, ceiling and
walls. These reflections are dampened by objects such as furniture, plants and carpets. If the sound is bright,
soft items such as curtains and carpets can help. If the room has large window panes, drawing the curtains will
prevent reflections from the glass surfaces.
Both the amount and quality of the bass depend on the size and shape of the room and the position of the
speakers. If positioned near a side or back wall, this will accentuate the bass. A corner location will accentuate it
9
even more, but will also increase the reflections. The decision is yours, so experiment with different positions to
find which provides the ideal sound for you.
Adjusting Reflector Plate on Magus Stands
Your Magus speaker stands are equipped with an adjustable reflector plate that can be used for fine tuning to
the room acoustics. This isn’t replacement for room treatment discussed in this guide and can’t provide big
improvements as can be obtained with a proper room treatment, but it enables further flexibility in placement
of Magus speakers in the room. Again, the decision is yours, so experiment with different positions to find
which provides the ideal sound for you.

Chapter
Room Acoustics
Listening your Teresonic speakers in a properly set-up room can be a startling experience.
very room has its own distinctive acoustics, which influences the way we experience the sound from a
speaker. In fact, it's a matter of how the room accommodates the sound and then dissipates it. You
can influence the acoustics of your listening room in various ways. Some simple and relatively
inexpensive adjustments can lead to superb results.
E
The great majority of listening rooms are rectangular, with parallel surfaces made of hard materials that are
acoustically reflective and can produce standing waves, flutter echo, and unwanted reflections that need to be
eliminated. These large areas are the predominant factors in the overall room acoustics, although the other
items in the room such as furnishings, carpeting, wall hangings, doorways etc. will also play a role. Here are
some recommendations.
Improve the sound stage and image depth
Reflected sound waves that reach the listener within 10-20 milliseconds of the direct signal from the
loudspeaker are sometimes called “early reflections” that can reduce the subjective quality of reproduced sound.
When a reflected sound reaches the listener more than 40 milliseconds later than the direct sound, the reflection
is heard as a discrete echo. This is a desired effect that helps our brain to interpret spaciousness of the room as
any musical performance is heard in some room – jazz club, concert hall… However, if the reflected sound
arrives within around 10-20 milliseconds, the ear/brain system tends to integrate the two sounds so that only
one sound is heard. “Early reflections” in the listening room will tend to obscure the ambient information in
the recording (that portrays the original recording site), leading to a loss of dimensionality and spaciousness.
Secondary arrivals within the first 10 milliseconds are especially problematic, becoming less troublesome as the
arrival time gets to 20 milliseconds or so.

“Early reflections” will tend to diminish the sound stage in the direction of the reflections – “early reflections”
from the side walls tend to reduce sound stage width, while “early reflections” from the back wall will reduce
image depth. Some listeners are finding that a strong sense of depth enhances the feeling of involvement when
listening, due to three-dimensional solidity of images. Therefore, it’s more important to have a greater distance
from the speakers to the rear wall than to the side walls. Typically, this is easier to achieve if the speakers are
placed along the short wall of the listening room.
Getting fast, tight, realistic bass
The parallel surfaces of most listening rooms can lead to a potential problem in the low frequencies. A sound
wave can be repeatedly reflected from opposing surfaces, back and forth. If the distance between the surfaces is
a multiple of one-half the sound wavelength, a standing wave will be set up. This means that the incident and
reflected waves combine so that a stationary pattern of high a low sound pressures is established in the room.
This irregular distribution of sound level is caused by cancellation and reinforcement between the reflected and
direct sound waves.
At high frequencies, this pattern of high and low sound pressure levels within the room becomes too finely
spaced to be discerned. However, when the dimensions of the room are comparable to the wavelength of the
musical notes, there will be obvious changes in the intensity of certain bass notes in different locations within
the room. Additionally, the existence of the standing wave implies a resonant condition where acoustic energy is
stored in the room. This energy storage can result in “heavy”, “muddy”, or “slow” bass.
Since the presence of standing waves is caused by parallel reflective surfaces, practically every listening room
suffers from this problem to some degree. However, several factors are working in our favor here. First, as the
room size increases, the affected frequencies become lower and thereby less audibly apparent. Second, the
presence of shelving or furniture against the walls will break up the large surfaces, reducing the magnitude of
the problem. Third, upholstered furniture can absorb a significant amount of bass, diminishing the build-up of
resonant energy. Finally, typical wall construction isn’t completely reflective at low frequencies.
However, in some cases audibly objectionable standing waves will still be present in the listening room. This
can be noted by large variations of the intensity of certain bass notes in different areas of the room. Another
indicator is an unevenness of loudness of different bass notes. (This is sometimes what is actually on the
recording, so be sure that this is consistently a problem on a variety of recordings).

Improve musical detail
Parallel, reflective surfaces can also produce a different audible problem. If there is little absorption at higher
frequencies, musical transients containing high frequencies, such as a hand clap or strike of a percussion
instrument, can be heard bouncing repeatedly between the surfaces. This effect is called flutter echo (or slap
echo), and such multiple reflections can obscure music detail. The situation is analogous to standing between
two parallel mirrors, when the outline of your reflections becomes more difficult to discern, due to the
additional reflected images present.

Improve sound dispersion in the room
Speaker placement relative to the floor and walls can affect a uniform dispersion of sound in the room. Similar
to the way that mirror reflects the light of a light source, so can the surfaces near the loudspeaker reflect the
sound waves back into the listening room. There are typically three reflective surfaces near each speaker: the
floor, the rear wall, and the side wall. Each of these surfaces produces its own reflections, and hence its own
cancellation and reinforcement, as well as changes in sound dispersion. By properly selecting the distances to
each surface, we can provide a more uniform sound dispersion. Conversely, improper placement of the
loudspeakers can result in uneven frequency response and lower sound quality.
Your Magus speakers have a unique capability to improve sound dispersion in the room when used with
dedicated Magus stands. The Magus stands are equipped with an adjustable plate (reflector plate) that allows
changes in distance between the port at the bottom of the speaker and the reflector plate.

the purchase date. If the registration is not done within the 30 days period, this warranty is null and
void. A complete statement of warranty is given below. Please take the time to register on the web site.
Y
In the unlikely event of a problem
In the unlikely event of a problem with your Teresonic speakers, the only component susceptible to failure is
the drive unit since there are no other mechanical or electronic components in your loudspeakers to guaranty
the most natural sound and the highest performance possible. If driver replacement is required, have your
dealer contact Teresonic who will provide an exact replacement unit, ensuring continued operation at the
highest level of performance and sound quality. The defective driver must then be returned to the factory for
inspection to determine the status of the warranty claim. This on-site replacement of the driver unit eliminates
the time and expense of shipping the entire speaker to the factory for repair. A
