Speakers or Amp

My current amp is a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 Integrated amp. My current speakers are Aerial 7ts. I have an opportunity to change one or the other. I can go from the Continuum S2 to the JR 625 mk2 with the Capri 2 preamp or from Aerial 7Ts to Raidho C3.1s. for about the same cost. I'm try to improve spacing between instruments and add a little more air. Looking for feedback from anyone familiar with the aforementioned components or general thoughts regarding the best option.

Xt, not arguing or seeking to argue with you about Magico vs Raidho. Your opinion of the build quality of the Raidho C3.1 is a good example of the human condition in a sense; why two people can look at the same object and espouse completely different views about its qualities or performance. Cest la vie.

Melbguy1 we all have our own opinions and tastes. I've never said Magico are are bad or even mediocre. They are very good no doubt. Please let's bury the hatchet from the past
Thanks and Best

Ricred1 - I believe the Raidho's are going to give you a lot more 'air and separation' between instruments and vocals.

Xti16,

When I heard them at my friend's house they had more "air and separation". My room is 20' x 26' and it allows me to place the speakers 5-6' in the room. I'm looking forward to hearing them with my amplifier and will definitely provide comments tomorrow.

Xt, I didn't know there was an issue (with Magico) or a hatchet to bury?..thanks for enlightening me.

Re: Raidho. Yes, their drivers are certainly fast and accurate. Magico's latest graphene and diamond-coated beryllium drivers however are lighter, stiffer and faster than the previous generation & are better drivers all round. Also the S7's in particular go deep in the bass & can move a lot of air. So it is a matter of personal taste.
