Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE

Aprica, can you provide dimensions in meters of your room and describe the layout (ie: dedicated lounge room or open living/dining) & what type of music you listen to? That will enable us to advise you which speakers would likely best suit you.

Both are quite expensive. One is more dynamic than the other. One is pretty large in size.

I just went through this process last fall. I had been to both ends of the spectrum. From all the darn audio reading I had done in the last 2 years came an idea.....Zu Audio.

I purchased a used pair of the latest Zu Essence on Agon. I have never had such pleasure from a speaker system. I am so Fricken done, and very pleased that I found my sound.

Your choice's approach seem kind of like my dilemma. I am not promoting Zu, but I am simply asking you to look at what you are truly looking for, and I don't mean 'Big Name' speakers.

+ 1 for the TANNOYs ...hands down!

Hello, my room is about 16 feet by 26 feet
or 5 by 8 meters.

The Yorkminster, Canterbury, and Westminster SE should all do very well in a
room that size. You may wish for another couple feet beyond that 16' with the
Westminsters...but if I could go for them in that situation, then I'd probably do
so. The 23Hz extension of the Yorkminster (vs. 28/29Hz) was incredible; the
18Hz of the Westminster should be unreal -- and at 98dB/Watt, no less. No
other point source can touch that.
