Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1

It seems you are ready to reboot, based on your comments. Where do you live? The wilson Sabrina is sublime, makes sophia 3’s sound kindof broken to my ears. YMMV. There is a preowned paid of sabrinas at audio arts in new york presently. 1st rate dealer, Gideon.

As for Duettes and Duette 2’s, Ive owned both. The Duette 2 is quite a bit more refined but it should be for the price leap. There is a pair of Duette 2’s pre owned for a crazy good price.

what equipment are you using presently?

Sorry to be so long...

I was thinking of a bit softer sounding, not quite so analytical without losing any detail.  Perhaps no BE tweeter?  I do not listen at very high volumes.  I am limited in placement space although a friend came over and we measured the room and went through the Sumiko placement routine.
I only mentioned those speakers above because I have never heard ceramic drivers.
Perhaps Wilson Audio Duette 1 for its flexible placement attributes or a ML 13A with room correction should be considered.

This would be much more effective if you'd let us know what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you and what specifically you're looking to improve upon over the Magicos. 

Thank you.

A couple of Wilson Audio models, Focal Sopra. Wasn't always a fan of either brand but either I have come around or they have. LOL. Several factors were at play for me, I have a large volume room that is pretty hot, I don't listen at high volume levels and I like a certain sound that maybe others don't, who knows. The Focal Sopras are very nice, the Kantas are compelling as well, I just preferred Wilsons. Lets respect the thread though, back to the OP.

@ghasley   What was on your short list? Thank you.

Of the three you have listed, I have heard all three although NOT nearly within an acceptable time period. Different audio shows. Among them, I prefer the Martens. I value reasonably full range without brightness. It all depends though on your preferences and existing equipment. The Martens can sound pretty magical and are not a tough load for an amplifier. With that being said, its your money. If it were my money, and it was recently, none of those were (or would have been) on my short list including the Magicos. Horses for courses though. Good luck in the search.

Stereo5 what speaker do you have???

Thanks, but was not looking for opinions on my Magicos.  I was asking about the three speakers posted above.  I know what my Magicos can do, well and not so well.

I have heard 3 or 4 different Magico speakers and do not care for them at all.

Magico is much better than these speakers.Are you using the right preamp,amp and speaker wire i don't think so otherwise you should love the Magicos.Oh well good luck.
