To me it seems Magico has influenced B&W, or at least set the pace of new materials application. One can of course argue that B&W influenced Magico in particular with matrix construction in that all Magico models have used internal bracing from its beginning a decade ago. Anyway competition improves the breed. B&W I feel stagnated a little and I think Magico in particular has set an example for B&W to follow, and they did.

I feel like the aluminum inner baffle was actually very similar to the Rockport cygnus. So I am not sure if this was an influence by magico or Rockport or neither.
