Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE

Hello, I need some opinion about these 2 speakers. I plan to acquire one of them.
Anyone who owned or tried these speakers please share your experience.

I won't be looking for any other brand.

I will use VAC sigma 160i to drive the westminster
Vs
Hegel H30 Stereo to drive the Magico S5.

Thank you.

Regards,
aprica

The S5 are the lowest distortion loudspeakers ever measured by the NRC. In terms of any realistic measures, there is no question that the S5 is a superior speaker then any Tannoy.
I bet you that Kiddman never really heard a Magico. And if he did, there were plenty distortion in that “setup” for sure, they were just not in the speakers (-; Kiddman has been trolling the Magico threads for some time, spreading the hate, I wouldn’t take him too seriously.
