Magico S3 Loudspeaker

Ryan Coleman has posted a review of the Magico S3 loudspeakers ($22,600/pair) at SoundStage! Ultra. His conclusions:

“Some will say that Magico speakers don’t have a soul, as if that’s a criticism. I agree: Magicos do what the upstream components and signals tell them to do. If you don’t like what you’re hearing, I can assure you that it’s not the speakers’ fault — it’s what you’re feeding them. They’re just doing what they’re told to do, within the context of what, thanks to Magico’s relentless drive to minimize distortion, they were designed to do: reproduce music with reference-level resolution. Audiophiles who really want to hear their recordings, take note: Your invitation to join that club has arrived in the Magico S3.”
