Audiogon was on hand for the debut of the Magico S5 speaker at David Michael Audio and, wow, talk about impressive! Though weighing in at about 190 lbs, its sleek curved design will fit a wide range of decor (and thus keep the comments about “big ugly speakers” to a minimum!) and more importantly, helps reduce internal standing waves.
Listeners were extremely impressed with the overall sound, particularly the S5’s robust bass, gentle mids, and smooth highs that seemed to defy listening fatigue. “This is voiced perfectly,” one attendee murmured to himself, awestruck.
The Magico S5 is coming to be known as the “1% speaker for the 99%” in audiophile circles; several features, like the beryllium diaphragm, place the S5 in the running with some reference speakers priced at $100,000 or more. With new color options, you can add a touch of personality to the Magico quality you know and love.
