Game Changer !

That's one of the things I definitely heard,a naturalness to the sound, that's what I mean when I say realism.

I heard the S series was voiced differently so definitely want to get a listen. Thanks for sharing your audition. It was a great read.

Well one of you guys has a tin ear. We just need to figure out which one!

Perhaps when I'm in Detroit watching a World Series game I can go listen to these and the S1's.

Thanks for the offer Bob but I'm a lost cause, if I was a horse they would probably shoot me!

But seriously you're an ENT?

I've got beryllium ears, is that part of the tin family? :huh:

Sort of; Ent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pardon my French, :eyebrow: isn't ENT a shortcut for ear, nose and throat?

Having read the threads. I 'm going to have to give the S5 another listen to. The last time I listened I found them to be on clinical side.
Are we saying that we like Eastview's set-up?

What do you think S5 vs Alexia?

Mark - great write up. I've auditioned the Magico S5's in Toronto, Boston, Miami (thank you John!), etc. To me, its not contest when comparing to the Q1, Q3 or even Q5's (I've never heard the Q7's). The S series for Magico is the proverbial home run. I went back through my notes of those various listening sessions, and I wrote:

- Amazing bass
- Not the uber detail of the Q series, but a much more enjoyable speaker to listen to. More musical.
- Excellent speaker for a bigger room.
- Listening, absolutely nothing sticks out. Everything works beautifully coherent on the speaker.
- It seems easier to drive than the Q1 and S1 based solely on the volume level on the preamp.
- Deep soundstage.
- Imaging is excellent.
- The overall sound presentation is slightly "dark". Lacks the lightness and airiness of the Raidho's.
- Lots & lots of space around the instruments and vocals. This is the strongest point of the speaker.

After listening to the S5, I moved to the Q5 and wrote "who turned off the lights?".

Canadians usually love a 'Canadian' sound. ...Are the Magico S5 American? ...Yes, made in USA.

What is the difference?

What is the difference?

Between a 'Canadian' sound and an 'American' one?

None, they use the same demo music material; Holly Cole, Patricia Barber, Diana Krall, Jennifer Warnes, ...
... Madeleine Peyroux.
