I listened to the Magico S5's and after about 2 minutes, I asked the salesperson "where's the bass?" So, everybody hears things differently.
I also listened to the Audio Physic Avantera + and they were even more lacking in bass, in spite of their terrific imaging.
Ultimately, I listened to the Rockport Avior's and the EgglestonWorks Viginti. I ended up buying the Eggleston's because I felt that they sounded better across the spectrum. I made the right decision for me and could not be happier. After a 100 hour burn in they sound amazing-- using tube amps, of course.
