Magico will offer a substantially more accurate, detailed, lower distortion, better attack and decay, presentation.
Tannoy will have an older style, more colored reproduction.
I have heard the "sterile vs involving" types of statements made many times before with regards to loads of modern speakers. I just don't buy it.
For me, I get more involved when I listen to audio where things like: detail, attack and decay, low cabinet resonance, etc., are maximized. I want the speaker to add as little of its own signature on the music as possible.
I just can't help but think, that when a speaker is in a cabinet with extremely low resonance, the drivers are very low mass yet very rigid, and more small technical attributes are taken into consideration, will be a speaker that adds less of its own sound to the presentation.
