Nice! My S5 is also Pearl White, but with black baffle.

Just come from a show in Holland, where they were playing with the new S3's with AR DS450, CD-9, Aurender W20 and a new AR pre/phono amplifier. Very open and wide soundstage and the lightning quick Magico signature. Really enjoyed the 1hr listening session.

Now listening to my own set again, no punishment luckily, V3's will stay a bit longer.

Not particularly interested in S3 but possible S2 would have my attention as future upgrade.

Time is on my side..

Only the DS450, the Ref 75 I think they used last year for a show with Q3's (you can see one behind the rack)

Here is a video of the S3's in my Dealer's showroom powered by Audia Flight Strumento mono blocks & a CH D1 front end

I've never heard of those amps before. Sounds like the system must have sounded impressive. If I was looking for speakers in that budget range and size, I'd be all over the S3. I've not heard them personally yet, but I've heard the S1's and was impressed with their transparency and coherence.
