I could be wrong, but weren't the S7's in prototype form? Not sure its fair to comment until someone has heard the finished product.
 
The more I see things like this thread regarding Magico, the more I believe man evolved into two completely different genetic pools as it relates to the temporal lobe and auditory cortex---those who love and those who hate Magico. I am not trying to be belligerent, but I am always amazed by the polarity which occurs around Alon's work. It never seems to be "I kinda like it" or "I kinda don't". Rather it seems to garner more extreme reactions from people.

Why fly a prototype product to Munich, unless you thought it was ready for prime time?

I wonder about it myself. I think it is somewhat primal and expose some of the different reasons people are attracted to the hobby. You can see an example of that reading the Magico threads that are mostly critical as oppose to the Wilson or Raidho threads that are typically congratulatory.

Paul,

I know what you mean but I think Magico and Soulution have moved towards a more organic sound.

There were countless Wilson threads on forums for years with polarizing viewpoints. Cant play the woe is me card...
