Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE

Isn't that the best way to really know if something works or not?

No it is not the best way. One does not have to jump from the roof to know it will be a painful landing. Regardless, it is perfectly fine to do what you are doing, but once you report on it in public, and make judgements, we reserved the right to tell you what we think. I am SUPER relax, BTW.

Usermanual/Melbguy1 - I like to change gear and try different things in my room. Isn't that the best way to really know if something works or not? Since I don't have any dealers within 200 miles of me, I have to buy, try and move on. It sure isn't fun moving hundreds of pounds of gear, most times losing money, dealing with shipping hassles, etc. But this is the only way to get real - in home - experience. And remember, this is a hobby. Relax.

That's very smooth. Were you once a door to door Insurance salesman? Don't waste your time on us...we've heard this traveling snake oil show of your turn up on on numerous audio forums. It's getting to be a yawn..

I agree that an open forum allows comments from all who desire to share their opinions, that's a good thing. Why get upset with someone who owned the Magico and found it disappointing? Obviously he finds the Tannoy a better speaker. Some agree with his viewpoint and others won't.Usermanual you seem to take it personal when someone doesn't care for Magico speakers. If they please you it shouldn't matter what other listeners report regarding their experience.
Charles,

Charles, no argument about this being a free and open forum, that's why members like Usermanual and I are free to express our opinion, right? I only object to members who promote products for the express purpose of attracting more readers to their website. This guy then talks up his latest acquisition until interest wains, then flips his rhetoric around 180 degrees before dumping said product. I take if you're reasonably intelligent? This member has considerable form in the audiophile world. I appreciate genuine, considered and unbiased comments. I don't appreciate disingenuous comments from a member with obvious bias motivated by self interest.

I don't see how Mbovaird did anything wrong here. It appears to me that the parties objecting to his input are the ones with a real agenda of their own. He never even brought up the other website which you claim he is trying to gain publicity for. The "objectors" were the ones who brought that up once his experience didn't agree with what they may prefer or own. Makes one wonder who really has other motives here, doesn't it? I welcome Mbovaird's input here or elsewhere, and find his comments to be of more value than many other posters here.
