Magico V3 & S3

I had a chance to listen to the V3's only.
I found the music to be lacking emotion. Also a bit mehanical sounding.

My Thiel CS6 Even sounded better.

Alan what amps, source and canles did they use with the Magico's?

Alan,
All you can do is choose what sounds better for your desires. I wouldn't want a speaker either if I felt it couldn't communicate emotion that's certainly present in music. You wisely relied on your ears and in the long term you'll be happier. Some listeners will love Magico and some will find them dry and un involving.
Charles,

With involving amps and sources all Magico's van sound musical. Depends more in waht you use.

The S series are only not the fastest in response. Other Magico's use different material and are faster.

The S1 is the best looker. The S5 is not as handsome as the S1.
