Magico S5 Speaker - owners - heard them!

Guys anyone that has heard these can you please provide some feedback. Would love your thoughts and feedback on these. I'm picking a Preowned pair and wanted some thoughts. What are your impressions - amps that match best - what you have heard them compared to?
Thanks

Congrats.....I'm sure you'll love the S5's and they represent a great value now with the mk. 2 now out. I recently upgraded my S1 to S3 and couldn't be happier. I currently use Spectral electronics and MIT cabling (required with Spectral) and they are a match made in heaven. There are many other amps that should work well including Pass, Constellation, Soulution, CAT and VAC to name few.

Congratulations!  I am sure you will be very happy with them, they are top rated.  I wouldn't think of changing anything in the system until you have had the speakers in your system for a few weeks.  Only then will you be able to decide what needs to be improved on.

Get big panel speakers.

I heard them at an owner's home.  Probably the cleanest, lowest distortion loudspeakers I have ever heard.  My only complaint is that they are a "top-down" speaker, and I prefer "bottom-up" speakers with looser bass, even if that means less accuracy.  But the detail retrieval was stunning.
