I listened to the Magico S5 now almost a year ago, at a dealer in Munich at the same time the highend show was on. I very much liked the way they played music.
Later that year I got a good deal on a pair of Magico V3's and never looked back, in my room the low frequency energy is excellent with the V3's and I am wondering if the S5 would be too much in that perspective.
Anyway, I like the way the new S5 looks, with a big plus that you can choose the color you want.

One thing about the S5 I find a bit strange, a few years ago when the V3's came out, all the reviews were mentioning that the first prototype of the V3 had a flat baffle and that later Alan Wolf insisted on a rounded baffle because that was enhancing the performance a lot. And now the the S series are there all with a flat baffle.

Wondering if this is a compromise money/design wise ?
