| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass Thanks for the info Dave! Was thinking one of those mega systems some people have that I only get to dream about. ATC's are excellent speakers though. I've heard quite a few and liked them all. Especially the powered ones. Nice and accurate and p... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass Thanks ebm - appreciate the feedback a lot !!!! :)Those Q3 look amazing. Would like to think those are my next stop down the road in a few years. Maybe if a MKII comes out. That helped me afford the S5's when the MK II came out.The Goodwins Guys s... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass What do you own that is so much better than my Magico S5's? I mean they are only $30k speakers so obviously $100k speakers will be better but now let's compare those to Magico's $100k builds? Maybe they do take a long time to settle in - maybe not... | |

During the days while at work been putting some volume into them.Goodwins tells me they are not broken in. They are I think the First U.S. Magico dealer. Thought buying used I'd be good on that... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Thanks Erik - there is tons of space to the sides and behind. Around 8 feet to the side walls about 4 feet out from back wall - I've gone with a little less tow in but they seem to need at least a little or you lose more than you gain. I bought my... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Pretty sure Magico is a well designed speaker, Pass Labs is a well designed amp and a Bricasti is a well designed DAC but my present speaker cables with this combo is bright - poor match -nothing too abnormal there in the Audiophile world - just l... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Thanks dcockrum - little free time down here this time around but wish I could have hit him up - that would have been cool.
