    Did he say S3 mk3?

    If not, my bet is on X3 (X as in TBD). Like M3 is replacement for Q3.

    He didn’t say. I should have written S3 mk2 replacement instead of S3 mk3.

    Everyone wins with these outrageous price increases except the poor sucker consumer. More than doubled in price since Mk1. So much for trickle down costs to save the consumer $$.

    Magico make Wilson seem frugal on their large price increases.

    Re: Coming soon from Magico

    These look like wonderful speakers with much of Magico’s latest technology. Quite expensive though. I’d love to listen to them in a head-to-head comparison with the A5’s.

    With your "downsizing" are you going to keep the Model 7's or move on to something else?

    Hi Jack, I will probably sell my entire system. I don’t have the floor space in my new home for it. I will need a very compact solution. I’m not planning to replace my Vandersteen 7’s with Magico. I was just curious how the new S3’s and A5’s compare.

    Assuming the new S3 is better sounding than the S3 MkII, which is a pretty safe assumption , it should be quickly obvious that the S3 sounds much better than the A5. Since overall the S3 MkII sounds better than the A5.

    For now, I am still assuming the A5 is capable of greater bass output with its three 9" drivers and 1000W power handling specification, versus the S3 with its two 9" drivers and 750W power handling specification.

    Hi Neko,

    Sound deductive reasoning but I was referring to listening to the new S3 and A5 head to head in the same system.
