Just bought a pair of S3's

[russellbobby]

Upgrading from a Merlin Mxr. I am going to be sitting pretty near field at about 9 ft. Speakers are 7ft apart and 2 feet off the front wall. Toe in suggestions or just trial and error?

Thanks for the input,
Russ

Awesome! Congratulations!

Nice!! Congrats. :congrats:

Did you get S3 mk1's or mk2's?

The seating position won't be a problem. I have S3 mk2's in a small room and they work great. For toe in, aim the tweeter over the respective shoulder, just outside the ear (left speaker facing left shoulder just outside left ear). If you have a laser, that helps a lot!

Congrats, great choice!

Wish you many hours of pleasure and enjoyment with your new speakers.

You can tune the soundstage to your liking by playing with the turn-in angle. I have my mk2s currently only moderately turned in for the LS to disappear and the soundstage to focus. But that might not be the final setup.

Thanks for the tips. These are S3 mk1. I was not even in the market put couldn't pass up the deal. Not sure how the Odyssey amps are going to play with them. Most folks have higher end power. Hopefully I will have them by the weekend.
Am I right in thinking electronics on the warmer side with the s3's. ?

The Kismets should be fine with the S3. Valin's review of the Stratos Mono's was using Magico. The Kismets are step up from there.

Great choice. Mk2 is all the rage these days but the big discount you are getting for mk1, it's a steal.

Congrats, always fun getting new gear.

Looks like delivery is Monday. Can anybody tell me if the outriggers come with pucks for hardwood floors from the factory? I didn't know the grills were an option but they are included.
Thanks

You should be receiving small discs for the spikes to go into on hardwood floors. Those are standard. If you don't get them, follow up with the seller. If he doesn't have them, you can perhaps reach out to Magico to purchase some. Congrats again.

Loving the S3. Just upgraded my interconnects to the Audience Au 24sx and the speakers got even better :)

[joeinid]

Awesome, I’m so happy for you. Please keep the updates coming.

Hi Russ, I have the same speakers. I like them quite a bit. The pucks are included, as the grills were for me. Maybe an option now though. I like mine toed in about 2". All personal preference, room size etc. Maybe pick up some gliders from Herbie's Audio Lab so you can slide them around. Enjoy!!!!

Congratulations! Enjoy the Magico ride:woot:
