I believe were ordered months ago and therefore not truly a guess

They might be wonderful. I did love the S1 and S5.
Is that a hint Myles? Can't wait for your report on the S5. I think S3 are the perfect size.
And cancelled due to Magico QC probs.

well i voted for strads because they still are my favorite alltime speaker and they are pretty efficient and versatile and just cool!! but i think you will absolutely love the harbeths and they will end up being your "main " speaker for awhile.
im personally waiting for a review from a very trusted reviewer on the lumins to come down soon. see whats up with them.
good luck Joe, speakers are the hardest thing to buy, and i put myself in a different market when i got the 300b's making speakers even harder to buy.lol. ill be curious to your outcome!!
Thank you for your help Steve. I value your opinion. I really think the Harbeths will take center stage for a while. I have some diversity in gear to drive them so I am not worried. From other forums, it looks like the Strads need some control to be their best but again, I am not worried. My final choice will take many months, so unlike me. It's funny, having no choice and living with the Corwalls, I'm loving them all over again. They are outstanding with the everything I have but the Naim is taking center stage because it's new. Are they audiophile? No, but I am having fun for sure.

Hi Joe, I voted for the Strads as well. Your MC601's and ARTS should have no problem driving them and you yourself said how wonderful they make you feel. It's up to you to determine whether you want the precision and accuracy of something like Raidho or the musicality of something more along the lines of SF. Now if by chance you happen to hit the Powerball someday I offer you this:

Joe, I would love to suggest the very best pair of loudspeakers to you and which would make you extremely happy forever ever fever after.
But I simply don't know where to start.
Let me put it straight this way to you if I may: Speakers are a very personal thing; they are like a pair of stereo women. Nobody can tell you which pair is the right fitting pair for you. Best thing is to audition as many as you can in your own bed, and start from there.
...When you'll hear the right sound, you'll know if you can live with them for a long time, or not. ...Good luck! ...In your ultimate pursuit of happiness. ...Love life, live longer and we all love you. :heart:

I've talked to MANY other Magico dealers as well as maybe 10 Magico customers who bought Magico speakers from other dealers than myself. Not one person that I talked to has experienced any Q.C issues.
I personally have been involved shipping and receiving many sets of Magico speaker with not one little issue. Every set of speakers and the overall shipping/receiving experience has been perfect.

My recommendation is the Raidho D3's for Joe.
They have a manageable footprint, play amazingly well at low volumes and the new D3's are more back wall friendly.
The D3's will also sound great with some of the amps Joe likes to play with.
The D3's resolution and clarity is unmatched.
Raidho Acoustics? D-3 Loudspeaker ? Audiophilia
But that being said....I know Joe's

You really don't want to open that can of worms again Bob.
I was not the one that brought it up, just responding to the two comments below that were made prior to my post.
