Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II


I own Magico S5 MK II Speakers and love them but curious what the YG folks think? I have never heard the YG Speakers and am curious what folks think. I have heard good things about YG. A little better dynamics and bass but would love some others feedback. 

Thanks

Any other thoughts on YG vs Magico ? Also to complete the metal triforce, stenheim?
@daveyf  Did you hear the Magico M2? I found it super impressive. Incredible imaging and clarity.
I heard atria and although its good, it can't compare to magico m2 which was far superior. But having said that haven't heard s5 mk2.

Anymore thoughts on hailey 2.2 vs s5 mk2 ?
Coming back to this thread. Another interesting match up might be the YG Hailey vs Magico A5 or M2 (A5 quite a bit lower msrp than the other 2).

Also Sonja 2.3 vs Magico m3 or m6.
I think the one issue with the YG lower end models or sonja 2.2 configuration is just the lack of bass impact and likely due to just having a singular 10 inch woofer (and smaller on hailey). Although Yoav tells me that given the metal driver and lack of flex, the driver movement is more pistonic and performs like a driver that is 1 size bigger (ie. 10 inch woofer is more like a 12 inch woofer).
Any other comparisons of YG Vs Magico?
YG vs Wilson aside:
I had 1 YG owner who went from XLF -> YG XV and was really happy with that shift. Another likes h is Sonja 2.2 more than XLF.
@sounds_real_audio  I really think WB seems well made but 2 concerns.
1. I have heard they can't do deep bass and bass heavy music well in terms of extension and impact
2. They kind of look like dildos (I mean their higher end stuff) like eminence
Ya guessing with the infrasonics that would fill everything out well while maintaining quality.
Only rockport lyra of those 3 has a metal cabinet speaker. Interested in more comparisons between metal cabinet speakers.
