    Having seen this beauty in person this weekend, I can honestly say, this should have been called the S6. The dual 10’s (vs dual 9’s) look so much bigger. The cabinet looks soooooo much bigger. S6 for me all day. Oh and the fit and finish is...

    Might have been easier to understand the price increase if Magico had called the new S5 an S6. It appears to be a lot closer to an S7 than it used to be, on paper anyway.

    Buchardt does make active speakers, but the S400IIs and the P300s are passive loudspeakers. And yes, a quick search on the 'Net can be effective in providing info and answers. 😉 Cheers.
