Of course it's always the combination (and acoustics) you are listening to. It's impossible to listen to speakers only.
Maybe I was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Willy you need to hear them under better circumstances. Believe me they are not as you described. There was something else seriously wrong when you heard them.

I might be all wet but I don't see it as a S series model because the speaker in the picture like the four way Q series design rather than three way associated with the S. Or it could be a new series altogether based on the M-series technology.

My guess it is new S series with improved driver arrangement as in Q, which perhaps they found superior in more recent developments - at least for larger speakers.

Alon always admitted having the mid-bass driver as in the Q series was superior. Just it was harder to build a four way design.

It is very difficult to judge about one part of a chain. Maybe my conclusion has been taken to early. It's a complex thing. The most important is that one is happy with his own audio system. It's only a tool to enjoy music. I hope all Magico owners will sleep wel tonight

Is this the new S7 ?

I agree with your reasoning. I think it is going to be the new S7.

I had to hear several different amps driving Magico speakers before I heard a combination that could justify its inclusion in any discussion of top speakers. I now believe anyone starting from scratch and ooking for a great speaker should include this brand in their search.

Many a time, it is not only the amp that count. Most people neglected the source and use a source that only cost 20% of the amp. Rubbish in rubbish out.
