RE: Magico speakers...

I just received the February issue of Stereophile and there's a rave review of the S5 MK2 by John Atkinson. Other than a bit less bass and probably other small differences the S3 MK2 and S% MK2 are similar(different woofers but the same mid and tweeter). So this thorough review with John's measurements, of course, should prove useful.

In fact the smaller speaker has technically more advanced woofers. The S5 MK2 uses aluminum with carbon fiber dust cap. The S3 MK2 uses full carbon fiber cone sandwiches. It will be interesting to see how listeners compare the two.
