I do not own Magicos but I have heard them a few times under show conditions displayed by Scott Walker Audio and Synergistic Research and they sounded great. Quite a feat at shows. Scott is a real good guy and I would talk to him about cables. He is a Magico dealer.

I own Magico S5's and use Jorma Prime cables in my system which sound smooth, natural/organic, harmonically rich and overall neutral in tonal balance. The Primes also have a touch of warmth. Jorma Unity or Origo would be a good match with your KWA-150 & S1's. Origo is better than Unity & more neutral. Unity sounds a bit warmer, but has a bit less resolution and coherency. Jorma is also good value imho. Siltech Royal Sig series also has excellent synergy with Magico. By way of comparison I would say Prime sounds a bit more 'delicate' than Siltech Royal Sig (which has more pronounced bass). Which cables are best would be a matter of taste, room considerations & budget. |
Have a look at this review... KLEI Essence®gZero6 Speaker Cable Review with Magico S1 speakers |
I'll second the gZero6! I took a pair of gZero2's to a friends house - he has the Magico V2's driven by an Ayre pre+power and they were very very good. Provided excellent control, smooth highs and fuller, deeper bass than the $$$Cardas cables he had. I then purchased the gZero6's, which are significantly better across the board than the gZero2's, with deeper and better controlled bass, smoother highs, better imaging, much clearer details and lots more punch. They would be an even better match. They are also very low capacitance, so they will work with pretty much any amp and speaker with an impedance greater than 3 ohm (see the KLEI website for details).
