For what it’s worth my experience is not the exact same speakers but close. I owned a pair of the original Revel Studios for several years and I now have a pair of the original Magico S5’s. The difference is not even close. The Magico’s are far better in every way. Not even close. Just my opinion. Again, not the exact same speakers that you are talking about but close. I hope that helps.
Older Revel vs Newer Magicos
I have an opportunity to get some Revel Studio 2 for about the same price as some used Magico A3’s. I recently heard some Studio 2’s being driven be a 100w Cambridge amp, not sure but, I think it was not an integrated. They sounded pretty special to my old ears. However, I have never heard the Magicos. Has anyone experienced both of these the speakers? And if so, please provide your opinions on them and whether the Studio 2’s should be considered older technology to be avoided.
