    Re: Game Changer !

    That quote is one of the most honest things I have read in a long time ! It all goes back to thinking if it's more expensive,it must be better !!

    If the Magico S5 wasn't so expensive, I would buy two pairs of them.

    This is a quote from the review. "I’d recommend a few hundred watts, good current delivery and something fast sounding; this is perhaps why Magico often ends up being used with DarTZeel, Spectral and VTL."
