I believe what you are looking for is what an old friend called dynamic linearity, that is linear changes in level from micro to macro, not just the ability to play loud. It is a quality that allows a system to sound really good outside a room.
I've had the opportunity to listen for good periods to both the S5 MK2 and S1 MK 2 and they are among the most dynamic speakers(other than horns perhaps) that I've heard along with very low coloration and wide band width. As they become very loud they have as small a change in character as I've ever heard. A member of my hi fi club is notorious in dumping on very expensive speakers as not worth the dollars. And when he heard the S5 MK2 even he said with no hesitation he thought they were worth the money.
Magico is one of the leaders in speaker design at this time and an excellent reproducer of sound especially when the listener is looking for jump factor(assuming it's in the recording).

Nice post and Thank you, I would agree with you that Magico is taking unique steps in engineering and cabinet,driver design. Your comments regarding dynamic linearity is a first for me but it makes sense for it was enough to make me continue my search from the very well regarded magnepans.
Thanks again for your time.

Leaders in current alloy speakers, maybe, leaders in speaker design, me thinks not, not even close.

Simple minded statement that means nothing unless you explain what you mean and what you value in speaker performance with perhaps what you like better and why. And no I don't have Magico speakers though they would be in my small list to audition futhur if I had the money along with Rockports, ATCs and a few others.
Well OK , after you , Alon has built up his Magico Brand nicely and I'm respectful of his work and success, But leading in design, what are they specifically leading speaker designing with , i see nothing new design wise , manufacturing yes , as they are taking advantage of modern techniques.

And what's bad about that? You implied they weren't good speakers and I asked why you felt that way. Some of their design is detail, other is at the forefront of conventional design. Who do you respect as a leader in design. There's very little that's not a variation on old principles in that.
Never said they were not good speakers and i dont comment on others subjective analysis unless intrusive ..
You like what you like, it's audio , I'm a fan of Audio , love to look , touch and listen ..:)
Regards ...
