The original S5s are really excellent speakers.They just need matching with the right preamp and power amp to bring them to life and open them up .Otherwise they can sound a bit too dry and constrained.They work beautifully with Supratek preamps which do all that.
Any Love for Magico S5 Original Version?
Starting to starting to see these on the used market at interesting price points. Yeah, I know the mk2 variants are the hot ticket but their pricing also reflects that fact. The originals were well respected in the day, just wondering if they should be on my upgrade horizon? Thx
