More specifically you should say Magico S series speakers are chesty
having moved from V3 -> Q3 -> M3 I can say that there are profound changes in tonal profile moving between ranges
personally I have never like the S series finding them rather too hi fi in their presentation ie a bit over dramatic and florid, not unleasent but like a image enhanced digital printÂ
the shift from V to Q to M was all about reducing any colorations frankly such that at first blush the M sounds bland and lacking at the frequency extremes. Spend time with them however and you relax into what’s really on the disc, not what the speaker is imposing on it
