As with our entire range of products, the V3s are finished to reveal the beauty of the natural materials used in their construction; no veneer or paint is ever employed to disguise cheap materials or mask imperfect craftsmanship. Aluminum parts are treated with an anodization process that not only hardens and protects the metal surface, but also provides a unique appearance not achievable with paint. As with any MAGICO loudspeaker, "what you see is what you get" -- beautiful, yet high-performance materials combined in a unique design that is both exquisitely elegant and cutting-edge high-tech.
