i am sure that system sounds as good as it is elegant!! ...however, i am thinking a taiko sgm extreme in place of the sonos would really tie the room together, would it not?

Nice room with nice setup. I like simplicity in the living room.

As a S3 MK2 owner
I’m glad people still love good stuff

S3 Mk2 has become the lost soul in the range, would you say? I mean, A5 would be better in some ways for less money, M2 would be better for not much more money. Is this typical, having a dealer deliver speakers?

Mike (Suncoast Audio) delivered my entire system. If I recall correctly he made three deliveries that day. They ship stuff too, but they do a ton of deliveries. And Mike is a master at setting up Magicos.

Not really, you have to take into account how important colors are for so many people (Alon, nudge nudge, wink, wink!). Black is fine, but really and truly the S series holds a lot of value for many people, not only sonically, but in the ability to choose a color.

Congrats Mike! And, clearly, congrats to the owner of the new Magicos. Very different music reproduction between those speakers. The sealed enclosure of the Magicos probably a better fit in that space.

Happy listening!

Thanks Calvin. We have an M6 install coming up in Miami in about 6-8 weeks. That will be a fun day!

The S3 MkII sounds better overall than the A5, and the M2 is twice the cost of the S3 MkII. It doesn't look like the seating is so far away that you'd need the higher maximum SPL output of the A5.

Most high-end speakers and electronics would be set up by the dealer, unless the client wants to do it themselves.

That is so true. I love my S5s. They sound fantastic, even after a couple of years, and they look great in the living room. Thanks Mike.

Thats a really good looking livingroom , and the Magico´s look great. Congratulations with them.

Really like the the S3 mkII's, but having listened to the Alexia's I feel the M3's would have been the way to go as replacement.
Did the Wilson's have a bass problem in the room ?

With the position of the speakers being so close to the rear wall I would expect the rear ported Alexias to be boomy in the base. But the Alexia Series 2 in my friend's room here in town are awesome - but he has plenty of room around them and a finished audio room, etc.

Does anyone recognize what type of rack is being used in the photos? I like their looks.

S3Mk2 doesn't have grilles?

You can order them with the "S" series of Magico's. I normally take my grills off when playing them ....
