There is an interesting video on YouTube by The Absolute Sound online magazine (from September 2024) covering the 2024 model of Magico S5.
The video lasts 19mins but is worth watching if you have not seen it before. The video may provide some clues as to why your general preference may be for Magico loudspeakers.
That was a great video - thanks!
Market volatility and the increased relative value of liquidity has me pausing the Magico order … which I know is prudent in most senses but seems reckless in another. I mean, how many days do any of us have left on this earth anyway, and how profligate of that time not to fill them with Magico sound?
Certainly a very personal decision, but based on your post I think you’re considering all of the relevant factors. Listening to good music certainly can brighted even the darkest of days for me.
