Since S5 is unfortunately little bit too small for my room(but, it do sound pretty good)so, something like S7 would be a nice thing for me. I would pay $60K for something like S7 but, I am not willing to pay $185K for Q7...

But if they create an S7 with performance approximating that of the Q7, that would kill sales of the Q5.

I rather expect a Q6. A Q6 at 90k would be an interesting concept. What do you guys think?

if performance would approximate that of the Q7, it will be at a Q7 price.... there is no miracle unfortunately! Q7 sound is so superior because technology used are different from the rest of the range (and costly)

stupid question: how do you guys attach pics here without storing them on a web address... is there a way?

The midrange seems to be different from the S1, it looks smaller.

S1 is a 2-way. S1 has a 7" mid/woofer. S3 is a 3-way with separate midrange and woofer.

They look hot, and there did seem to be a huge price & functionality gap from the S1 to S5. So far I'm more a fan of the S1 than S5 (in the small-to-midsize room I've auditioned them both), so it'll be interesting to see how the S3 goes. Looks promising. I've been coming around more to the Magico S-series sound. The beryllium tweeters are fabulous, and the midrange is excellent.

Always hated side-firing woofers, so it's nice to see Magico stick with the front baffle. Not in the market myself, but it would be sweet if my local shop brought a pair in for audition.

With a narrower baffle than the S5,one would think this should be an imaging champ and soundstage champ.

I wonder what will be next ... Q5 mk 2 ?
