Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1


I am looking at these three possible speakers as replacements for my Magicos.

Gauder Acoustic Cassiano
Gamut RSi5
Marten Django XL

Does anybody have any input on any of these please?

This would be much more effective if you'd let us know what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you and what specifically you're looking to improve upon over the Magicos. 

Sorry to be so long...

I was thinking of a bit softer sounding, not quite so analytical without losing any detail.  Perhaps no BE tweeter?  I do not listen at very high volumes.  I am limited in placement space although a friend came over and we measured the room and went through the Sumiko placement routine.
I only mentioned those speakers above because I have never heard ceramic drivers.
Perhaps Wilson Audio Duette 1 for its flexible placement attributes or a ML 13A with room correction should be considered.
It seems you are ready to reboot, based on your comments. Where do you live? The wilson Sabrina is sublime, makes sophia 3’s sound kindof broken to my ears. YMMV. There is a preowned paid of sabrinas at audio arts in new york presently. 1st rate dealer, Gideon.

As for Duettes and Duette 2’s, Ive owned both. The Duette 2 is quite a bit more refined but it should be for the price leap. There is a pair of Duette 2’s pre owned for a crazy good price.

what equipment are you using presently?
Thanks,
I was reading the Duette 2s were redesigned to only work best against the wall whereas the 1s were more flexible?
