Rockport Avior or Magico S5


Well I am selling my Verity SarastroII and looking at the Rockport Avior or the Magico S5. From what I am hearing the Rockport's are a darker presentation than the Magico's. Both seem to have great sound stage and depth. My Sarastro's I think are more like the Magico S5's and I am thinking of going in a different direction with the system.
What do ya's think?

If you recall we had exchanged notes on the Nagra VPS many years ago. Threads like these will have the protagonists lining up on both sides. Both are outstanding speakers and I am sure you will demo both and let your ears decide. FWIW I'll add my 2 bits. If you are looking for a speaker that can handle a whole range of music from loud rock, symphonic crescendos, chamber music, female vocals, acoustic music and in my case poorly recorded Indian music, all with ease and aplomb, the Aviors would be my choice. Even discounting owner bias, the Aviors have equals at their price point.
All the best
