Magico 18" Sub Sub

Magico's $22k bookshelf-to-end-all-bookshelves "Mini" speaker has the cover of this month's Absolute Sound, so why not look at the company's all out assault on subwoofers? The creatively named "Sub" uses an 18" Aura driver in a massive half ton extruded aluminum enclosure. Where the Mini is made of thin ply layers, the rest of the Magico line is built around excessive amounts of aluminum CNC sculpting and computer graphic modeling. The Sub also uses 1000 watts of ICEpower, just like everyone else in the super sub segment, it seems. The sub is a sealed box, so no ports. Unfortunately, no specs or price listed.

OK, here's something a little strange:

I was stunned at the "half-ton" description, so I went to the site, where they indeed say that's the weight. But they also say the enclosure is 400 lbs.

So does that mean that the rest of the speaker weighs 600 lbs.? I find that a little hard to believe, unless they're using two offensive tackles as a magnet.
