Thanks Dan! Still some minor things to do including relocating the equipment (so the building can have access to AC and don’t fancy having to break down the system twice a year.)  So will have to use a longer IC between the amp and preamp. That SRA rack is a heavy sucker too.

Miles, we haven't spoken in years, but your current system is blowing my mind. I can only imagine how good it must sound. Nicely done!

Hello Myles, good to see you hear and read about your system progress.

No the Martin-Logan's have been retired after many years of faithful service in favor of the Magicos. That said, the Magicos are over double the money and would still highly recommend the Summitt-Xs to anyone looking in the $14K price range. But really felt (you can see my Magico reviews on both PFO and AVShowrooms.com) that the Magicos equalled the ML in the mids, albeit in a different manner, and are more dynamic, extended, linear and transparent. And the Magicos are even better than I initially thought - particularly in the areas of low level shadings, transparency and resolution- with some new and soon to be reviewed speaker cables that recently entered the system.

Thanks Rugy! The S5s, like all good speakers, are revealing to a fault of what's in front and around them; one can easily blame the speakers for other ills. In fact, it wasn't until I had the S5 in my room for review that for the first time liked the Magico. The S5 like the ML, are a speaker that bridges that gulf between musicality and being a reviewing tool.

When will your VPI Direct turntable review be out?

Had a chance to listen to the S5 yesterday and wound up staying at the store for over two hours. It wasn't planned that way. Played way beyond my expectations. Very nice speaker. Easy to see/hear why you like this speaker.

Thank you. :)

Hi Myles,

I love your system. Would you mind giving me some insight on your SRA racks? I was also considering HRS. Thanks in advance.

thesaint519 September 14, 2014 16:08

Read the upcoming Magico s5 speaker review at PFO. :)

There are also a few postings on audioshark and whatsbestforum from some audiophiles who have dropped over.
