Well it does compare in US MSRP to the Wilson Alexia V which starts at 71 K now.

What about output transformers on most tube designs? Don't they "color" the sound?
The "warmth" of these designs are really IMD (intermodular distortion) that is pleasing to the human ear. -

Re: New Magico S3 - 2023
Will this speaker kill M2 sales? The drivers are superior to everything sans the M9.
I guess we see new M2, M3 and M6 in 2024 after S line gets updated in 2023.
