The world’s first all magnesium diaphragm two way loudspeaker system ! Mg alloy diaphragm technology • Esoteric exclusive Mg technology, ceramic coating and corrugation • World’ first Mg diaphragm 2 way loudspeaker • Exceptionally high resolution • Crystal-clear transparency • Free from carbon fiber, Kevlar, metallic and paper resonance typically associated with other driver materials British engineering, integration and production • Designed by Esoteric acoustic engineering • Exclusive protective magnesium coatings developed in Japan • Acoustic engineering and cabinetry by TANNOY, Ltd. U.K. • Final manufacturing and tuning in Scotland by TANNOY, LTD. U.K What are the elements required for high performance diaphragms 1. Low mass High resolution / high sensitivity Capability to reproduce extremely delicate notes 2. Fast sonic propagation Sharp focus True to life dynamics TECHNOLOGY - MG DIAPHRAGM Magnesium (Mg) is the most “sonically neutral,” and most lightweight industrial metal known! Mg, three times faster acoustic response rate compared to paper cones What elements are required for high performance diaphragms? 3. High rigidity Precise piston motion Reduced distortion Mg, the highest rigidity among industrial metals! 4. High internal dissipation Better resonance control / reduced coloration crystal-clear transparency Mg, highest internal dissipation among industrial metals Esoteric acoustic engineering and exclusive Mg coating technology produced with NIPPON KINZOKU Tokyo 1. Extra-thin two layer coating to protect and seal the proprietary magnesium compound (Organic membrane + specialized ceramic coating) Better anti-resonance capability without loss in sensitivity Protection against rust, oxidation, volatility and other environmental influence 2. Corrugation technology Carefully designed resonance control technology Proprietary application Esoteric acoustic engineering and exclusive Mg coating technology produced with NIPPON KINZOKU Tokyo 1. Extra-thin two layer coating to protect and seal the proprietary magnesium compound (Organic membrane + specialized ceramic coating) Better anti-resonance capability without loss in sensitivity Environmental influence 2. Corrugation technology Carefully designed resonance control technology Proprietary application Goal: Maximize Mg performance through superior resonance control Impulse response characteristics TECHNOLOGY - MG DIAPHRAGM AL TI Mg Conventional metal diaphragms have a very fast response rate and slow decay. This clearly creates metallic coloration and adds resonance. Esoteric’s Mg cone designs have a very fast decay thanks to their higher internal dissipation and resonance control technology (Proprietary ceramic coating and corrugation). Furthermore, Mg is acoustically neutral and “color free.” Mg - Sonic character / basic advantages Higher resolution Ultra high sensitivity Exceptionally smooth response Crystal-clear transparency Sharp focus and precise imaging Benefits: Delicate strings, lively percussion Natural vocalizations Lack of coloration – (acoustically neutral)!

SoundStage! Equipment Review - Esoteric MG-10 Loudspeakers (5/2008)

soundstagenetwork.com

While the Esoteric MG-10 Loudspeakers deliver exceptional speed, clarity, and a holographic soundstage, they come with notable compromises. Priced at $6000, their refined sound and minute detail retrieval shine, especially in smaller rooms. However, bass response is lacking, and high SPL performance can lead to compression, making them less suitable for larger spaces or bass-heavy music. The elegant design is marred by poorly fitting grilles, which detract from their high-end aesthetic. Ultimately, if you're seeking a speaker that excels in nuance and articulation over sheer power, the MG-10 could be your perfect match—but expect to make sacrifices in low-end presence.

Esoteric MG-10 Loudspeaker (TAS 203) - The Absolute Sound

theabsolutesound.com

The Esoteric MG-10 Loudspeakers redefine neutrality, delivering a sound that is both pure and engaging, with impressive tonal coherence and dynamic range. Featuring all magnesium drivers, they avoid the metallic overtones that plague many metal-driver designs. However, they are sensitive to placement, requiring careful setup to achieve their best performance. The price tag can also be a sticking point, especially with the optional stands costing nearly as much as the speakers themselves. Still, for those willing to invest the time and money, the MG-10 offers a delightful listening experience that blends musicality with technical prowess.
