Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE

Both are quite expensive. One is more dynamic than the other. One is pretty large in size.

I just went through this process last fall. I had been to both ends of the spectrum. From all the darn audio reading I had done in the last 2 years came an idea.....Zu Audio.

I purchased a used pair of the latest Zu Essence on Agon. I have never had such pleasure from a speaker system. I am so Fricken done, and very pleased that I found my sound.

Your choice's approach seem kind of like my dilemma. I am not promoting Zu, but I am simply asking you to look at what you are truly looking for, and I don't mean 'Big Name' speakers.

+ 1 for the TANNOYs ...hands down!

Hello, my room is about 16 feet by 26 feet
or 5 by 8 meters.

The Yorkminster, Canterbury, and Westminster SE should all do very well in a
room that size. You may wish for another couple feet beyond that 16' with the
Westminsters...but if I could go for them in that situation, then I'd probably do
so. The 23Hz extension of the Yorkminster (vs. 28/29Hz) was incredible; the
18Hz of the Westminster should be unreal -- and at 98dB/Watt, no less. No
other point source can touch that.

Aprica, Like Charles1dad, I’m interested in the story behind your query - it’s unusual. Do you have coupons? :-)

+1 Charles1dad’s advise: All things being equal; if it’s a coin toss; go with the speaker that gives you the widest range of amplifier choices - the Westminster.
