I had Magico Mini 2s they took 800 to 1000 hrs to break in because the size of the Mundorf caps in the xover.Magico buys the best caps,wire etc.There will always be Magico detractors many people can't afford them or there idea of great sound is not the same as ours .I now have Magico Q3s and like the M3 which is a little better at a much higher cost,The Q3s took over 800 hrs to break in.Remember it takes 3 things to make a great speaker xover,drivers and cabinet Magico had that in spades.If you want to hear better bass and more detail look at Symposium stands with or without spikes this will depend on your floors.I assure my stands will stand up to the Magico feet at $9500.00 at a much lower cost.I do not believe the stainless steel spikes are not great for the sound.They came with my Rixrax i used copper spikes they sounded much better.Remember Magico is a truly high definition speaker that will tell you everything that is wrong in your system.So enjoy your wonderful new speakers and don't worry about the detractors.Enjoy!!
Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass
Opinions please. All are Used and are the same very good price but The Y&G are $4000 less which is nice.
KEF Blade 2
TAD Evolution One
Y&G Kipod II Signature w/Pwr Bass module
Magico S5
Would love your thoughts any thoughts on any please! Being all used and in good shape these are all within $500 of each other used price but Y&G and those had highest list but know to be good used deals because they are pretty serious speakers.
I think as far as used speakers in the great value - now less than 1/2 price but still new enough to provide great performance these are some different but pretty serious speakers. Please any and all feedback totally welcomed and is super helpful

Music: Assorted Music no metal or loud hard rock anymore really - not much Large Scale classical either but everything else.
Likes: Transparency- Delicate-linear-Dynamic-Fast - high resolution-microscope but not sterile not etched or lifeless - I know there is a fine Line here but I'm looking to walk it and come out on the right side - but real see through into the music - transparent to the source because I love my DAC - there more everything else sound more like my DAC the closer I'm getting to where I want to go as close as possible - image and sound stage lover - tight bass - hate flab - like speed and transparency as my selection choices might speak to
Coming from: Rethm Saadhana V3 speakers which I love and are incredible but want to try something else.
Love any feedback about matching or equipment matching or one or multiple of these - what you heard at shows or whatever. Love more Info on these.
