Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE

Hello, I need some opinion about these 2 speakers. I plan to acquire one of them.
Anyone who owned or tried these speakers please share your experience.

I won't be looking for any other brand.

I will use VAC sigma 160i to drive the westminster
Vs
Hegel H30 Stereo to drive the Magico S5.

Thank you.

Regards,
aprica

Why are folks still responding to a thread where the OP said he was purchasing the week of April 15th and has disappeared since.

The discussions are'nt just for the OP, some are of general interest to all of us.

I agree with David12, I enjoy other`s perspectives and observations on an open forum.These two speakers represent such different designs and sound presentation.I just found it interesting someone would be equally attracted to both.
For instance, do I want a 20 watt tube SET or a 400 watt class D power amplifier, two different worlds.

As I recall, the Tannoys have limited off-axis dispersion due to the large driver. IMHO they are far,far better than Harbeths which had some kind of funky coloration. Like wearing pink tinted glasses or, from what I have read, Exposure amps.
Agree on the Rockports combining the best of both. If you have the power and play relatively loud, Audio Technology drivers kick butt!
How about ATC active 100's? Been a while so can't remember if they were brighter than Tannoys.
