Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE

Hello, I need some opinion about these 2 speakers. I plan to acquire one of them.
Anyone who owned or tried these speakers please share your experience.

I won't be looking for any other brand.

I will use VAC sigma 160i to drive the westminster
Vs
Hegel H30 Stereo to drive the Magico S5.

Thank you.

Regards,
aprica

I'm still waiting for Kiddmann to explain his comment (on 10/22) about why he thinks Magico has "higher distortion".
Peterayer, Don't hold your breath.

Final thought: One is fairly good hifi, for hifi folks, it will be a stepping stone for you after you tire of them. The other is a classic, something for music lovers, something folks often keep for decades, something that affords you the opportunity of using any type of amp you wish.

Simple choice: music or the "hifi game".
Disagree! My .02 Depending on the electronics, you can make either sound "hifi game" or music.

I demoed Q3 with all Spectral and Constellation amp and EAR pre. Constellation and EAR were music and all Spectral were "hifi game". It gave me a headache after 30 minutes, was not in the mood to hear the Q7's next and just had to leave.
