Magico S3 mk2 vs Dynaudio Contour 60

[Mike]

I would like to give the Contour 60’s another listen. I heard the Contour 30’s at $7500 are terrific from another dealer.

With the A3’s now at $12,300, I’ve been left with a void of floorstanders below $10k. Not everyone wants a standmount. DynAudio is on the radar. Going to give them a serious listen next week in Germany.

I have now owned 3 magicos, including the S3’s. I find Magico quite difficult to pair to get sounding their best. The dynaudio’s are far more forgiving as long as you give them power. I havent heard the new Confidence line but I would expect something special there.

Welcome AJR.

I recently replaced a ported Aerial 10T with a Magico S3 Mk II after listening to Aerial 7Ts, Wilson Sophia 3s and Sashas, and B&W 802 and 803 D3s. My general impression is that the S3 Mk II's base goes lower and is more accurate but less prominent than the ported speakers mentioned. I think the Magico's are to die for, but my musical tastes run toward classical and jazz, so YMMV. I would call you room more medium sized than smallish and would think either speaker should have adequate breathing space.

Hi,
Aerial 10T/cc3 owner here. How do these modern speakers compare to the Aerial 10T? Your advice and experience is valued. Thanks in advance.
