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

Flat panel speaker are great if you like defuse imaging and ill defined bass Magico is much better its not even close enjoy though you are certainly entitled to your opinion.
Magico Q5 is a great speaker i have heard the S3 mk2 and S5mk2 as well as S5  all are wonderful musical speakers.I was using Q3s with Pass 350.8 which is a great combo very musical and dynamic I'm sure the 250.8 would work great as well.I highly recommend all pure copper speaker wire like Furutech which i am now using.A good tube preamp with solid state is a great match.Im using CJ ET5 which sounds wonderful.Good luck if you need any more advice please let me know.
Thanks for the response guys I super appreciate it a great deal.

A little background ~ I'm coming from the opposite end of the spectrum with regard to my current / soon to be former system but I was awoken so to speak to how good really good solid state can sound and with that opened up a whole new world of speaker choices.

In a nutshell I wanted to try a different audio perspective entirely.

I've had solid state amps in the past - some well thought of like Krell - Levinson and the like and just never felt they provided what tubes could overall. They just were always dry and 2 dimensional and never came close to tubes in my experience but that all changed when I plugged in the First Watt F2J amp with my current speakers because honestly I really never knew solid state could sound that good or even that specific sound existed to that level or maybe my preference has evolved or a combo of all but one thing led to another and I'm trying out a new sound. 

I've been using high quality SET amp gear and Preamps made by Frank at Triode Lab in Canada. He is a famtatic guy / best to deal with I've ever met - great guy and he makes some great bang for buck stuff but I was using his reference products they honestly sound as good as anything out there. Really really good sounding and impressive equipment.

i was running this set gear into the best pair of speakers I have ever owned and honestly they are incredible. 

Rethm Saadhana V3 Speakers

They are 103db high efficiency full range - single driver - back horn loaded speakers with built in NCore driven bass modules with 3 drivers in an isobaric design.

Round - clean - extended - pure - accurate - frequencies blend amazing and they are the definition of uber resolution and are startinly immensely transparent. No matter what I buy in the future I understand nothing at any price will ever image like these. The sound stage is so pure SOTA and so darn precise they have no pear. I really enjoy incredible imaging so this is something I know I'm going to have to give up going forward. 

They are absolutely incredible. People say well if you love them so much why the heck are you changing and buying new speakers.

I say good point and not real sure I have a good response other than to say I want to try something new but I am keeping these and holding on to them until I've owned the Magico's long enough to know for sure they are the ones I want to keep of I am just going to turn around and re-sell the Magico's or finally part way with the Rethms but I just wanted to share with you guys how rediculiously good these Rethm Saadhana V3 speakers are but I'm super looking forward to them. 

In preparation for them I traded my TT / cart / Phono for a Pass Labs X350.5 which I really like and hope matches well with the Magico's and my source is Bricasti M1SE. 
Im running my Bricasti direct and thinking I might need a pre but will try direct first.
