Has anyone compared these two models.
How are they different?

Thanks

I did hear the S1 and S5. I like them both for their 3 dimensional image. But.....they are not the best in response.

Other Magico speakers can do this a lot better!

I heard a demo with the S5. The low freq. got acoustic problems with the floor. You could easilly hear that some layers of the low freq were missing.
Upfront is caused by the electronics they use. When you are not aware of the properties of the electoninics you use. You don't know how the image will be. It is that simple!
With involving amps and sources all Magico's van sound musical. Depends more in waht you use.

The S series are only not the fastest in response. Other Magico's use different material and are faster.

The S1 is the best looker. The S5 is not as handsome as the S1.
I prefer all speakers which can give a full 3D image and an intimate image as well. Magico does it!
Thiel are not that good in 3D stage compared to Magico. Because their crossovers are less precise. People have to keep and focus on the facts.

He can prefer his Thiel speakers, that is ok. Thiel totally sound different than Magico speakers.
