Hi magico fans!
I have listened to S5 some times and compared them in the same set up with Sonus Faber Amati Futura and Wilson Sasha. ARC tubes were powering them.
These three speaker are all top of the line. But with some different sound ideals. I could probably liv happy with either of them.
Enjoy some Pics:
I like the sound S5 deliver a lot. It's very clean, lot's of details and very correct. Wilson was mentioned before. In my ears, S5 does not let the soul of the music out or the dynamics as well as Wilson and SF. But of corse, if you are a fan of resolution the S5 is great. Of course I want everything, but I enjoy dynamics and musicality more than resolution if have to choose.
I like Q3 better...
..and Magico Q7 IS Magic.
I know, Magico is selling a lot of speakers and many people likes them.
At this level almost every big speaker brand is good, it's more a question of taste.
