Tidal Piano Cera or Magico S3

Thankyou Peterayer for your reply, so this is what I may expect, I really do not know about his electronics though, may be inferior?, He has the Rega osiris intergrated amp with the oppo 95 with the full Modwright mods, the out board tube power supply and the player has two 6sn7 tubes sticking out the top, then he has the shunata tron-anaconda speaker cables and interconnects, you may say your honest opinion about this set-up, LOL!, He does not have a computer, go ahead.

which is the better speaker model up the magico speaker chain, The q3 or s3 ??, I know the s3 is a wooden cabinet were as the q3 is all Aluminum speaker.

My Mistake, Both the q3 and s3 are aluminum speakers, However, looking at their site, It seems like the q3 is the higher end model?, Has any one listened to both models?, If so, what are the sound differences, which model sounds better?

I have not heard the S3. It is a very new speaker and it is not in many dealerships yet. There are a few comparisons between the S5 and the Q3 on the net. Just do a search.

I prefer the Q3 as I find it to be more neutrally balanced, transparent and refined. The S5 is very good and has more bass impact/energy, but I don't think it is more accurate or realistic sounding. It is slightly warmer sounding and many people prefer its sound. If you go to a dealer and listen to both speakers, you will learn a lot about the S and Q lines. The Q line is more expensive and I think represents the best Magico can do. However, the S line is newer and there are some innovations in the S line that may influence future Q designs.
