awesome, three days on this week! thanks
Can Naim drive Magico properly?
I don’t know for sure but would think it’s all in this thread further up, and the many other magico threads ![]()
I guess like any pairing, it depends on the actual speaker and amp models in question. A NAP500 drives S3 Mk2 very well.
Best sound I got from my A1’s coming from a NAP250DR. Really good synergy for sure - even better than my old Pass Labs XA30.8
I was 100% with you until I tried the Kaya S12…blown away…
My NAP 300 drove my A3s nicely and my NAP 500 certainly drives my S5MkIIs nicely.
I’m sure KJ West have them.
I also have the Pass / Magico combination and really enjoy the organic musicality. I do have a Naim component, NDX2/555PS, although that may be on it’s way out if they don’t sort out the recent firmware issues.
Terrific thread.
I just had my first listen to Magico speakers, A3, at a dealer. Tough room, powered by a Luxman 507z integrated … and the A3 sounded amazing. Of note to me were the air around the instruments and the way the speaker kept the bass locked in with the rest of the music.
I think I’m now speaker shopping …
Thanks for this concise advise on auditioning loudspeakers.
Waiting for the physical release somewhere in July-August to audition it - the S2 . My room is pretty small and can’t really fit in S5 mk3 , not even S3 mk 3.
My dealer told me to straight go for the M2 . A size that’s similar to S2
M2 price?
100 k ++… Around there - the S2 is half the $
Stunning looks
Heard it?
Thinking of buying them?
Yes heard it… it’s in another universe. Due to the aize of my room , it’s either this or S2. Definitely the S2 can’t compare with the M series. It’s way apart . But it’s very expensive . 100 k
the S 2 is due for demo in coming July earliest . Shall wait for then and see how both the S2 or M2 works in my small audio room . So a house demo is important .
Have you heard the magico speakers ? Are you also interested in getting one ?
No, I am very happy with my Kudos Titan’s

Great track @Thomas, enjoyed Magico S5 style!
KJ West in London are hosting a demonstration event 30 January for the launch of the new version of the S5. Apparently Aron Wolf, Magico’s CEO will be there for the event. May be a decent opportunity for any folks with questions to have them addressed.
