Re: the S5. As mentioned in the piece, Alon wouldn't say anything about future S5 plans. I do think the S7 throws down the gauntlet to both the Q and S series lines. Forgetting the M-Projects, the S7 may be the second best Magico model now.

Also the S7 isn't all that much bigger than the S5. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hi Myles,

Thanks for your advice.
The above two statements of yours are very "poisonous"!
I have to start saving up for the S7 asap. Haha

Very interesting. I would be most interested to know if the S7 can play well in a "small" environment where an S5 is comfortable, say of about 15' x 18'. Looking forward to you in-house review.

Hi Myles. Would you say that the S7 is fuller and warmer than the S5? Thanks!

I didn't attend RMAF, but reports that I've read about the Magico S7 were very favorable. Let me google that for you
