Magico S5 vs Revel Salon 2

Hi all,

I have read some glowing reports from both forum members and professional reviewers, on the Magico S5's.

I have been a happy Revel Salon 2 owner for a few years, but I am getting the upgrade itch again.

I am only at the early stages of considering this, so I will of course be conducting dealer and home demo's when the time comes.

In the meantime I would be really interested to hear from anyone that has compared both the S5 and the Salon 2 - ideally side by side in the same room and system. I'm interested to hear how the two models compare in performance terms (I appreciate there is a considerable price differential), particularly in reference to imaging/sound stage, detail retrieval and dynamics.

Thanks in advance,

The Revel's are a great speaker, but I can see how you might be tempted to try a Magico. However, their essential design is very similar. How different is it really going to sound to you? Subtelties ...

Why don;t you try something completely different, like a planer or a horn? Now that might be an interesting experiment.
