I clearly have a bias since I've owned these speaker from November of 2023. But, they are the best speakers I've ever owned. They just play music every time I sit and listen to my system. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/2025-ultra-high-end-loudspeaker-of-the-year-magico-s3-2024/

My system has gone through multiple changes and cost. But, I still just keep what works for me. Cheap and stable.

Looks like a very comfortable room to listen in. Is that a Monster HTS-5000 power conditioner? I used one when I had a HT setup. That was a long long time ago. Enjoy!

Like many people I'm always looking for new or different music to listen and experience. But, sometime I get in a rut and find it hard to find new and different playlist. So, I thought I'd start a thread for those interested in posting and sharing their playlist or others public Tidal playlist...
