    The pic on Magico's web page appears to be a computer-generated image. With that said, the midrange enclosure would not allow several of the vertical tensioning rods to be placed in the upper...

    Thanks for your thoughts on your audition of the S7's & opinion on the diamond-coated BE tweeter. Spectral amps are super-fast, but paired with the wrong speakers can sound bright and...
