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

Not mine - those are not mine. I wish. I just heard them at a guys house that I bought a VAC integrated from. I own the lowly Focal Sopra 2’s. I happen to love them and sold my Magico S5 MKII’s because I like them better but still I’m not claiming them to be better then Magico or YG. They are just best for me and for now at that. I tend to change them more then I should but I am smitten by them. 

My self I like the S MKII’s better then the Q’s and the M’s are insane. All the criticism the S and Q’s had vaporized into thin air with the M3 and up. Magico has evolved immensely with the M’s. Way out of my league. 

I have the Q3s and in my house in Florida i have M3 the M3 are more open etc this being said i still love my Q3s .

You have the Q’s and M’s. That’s some serious speakerage there. Nothing ever in the world is build better then a Q series Magico. Never before it or after it. Tenth degree and then some. Build like a tank doesn’t do them justice. Tanks wish they were built that well. All Magico’s sound great - they have never made a bad speaker ever. Even the old birth wood ones sound fantastic. The mini changed the speaker world forever. The M series - that’s a new level for Magico. That semi-constipaded sound is gone - the air and openness and unrestricted dynamics I think is just is so good they never quite got there before but their flag is planted there now!
