I run the model up, the Magellan Cello 40th Anniversary floor standers. I prefer their golden oak finish which is just as beautifully finished but has a narrower grain pattern and is lighter in tone. They're exceptional speakers, but are so revealing they demand upper echelon electronics to do them justice. Their lower Signature line is a bit more forgiving with moderate amplification. Suggest you try to arrange an audition with your intended electronics if possible.
