After years of following Magico's evolution, I recently took delivery of a pair of Magico S5 speakers and find them to be exceptional. Given the wait time for delivery, I'm sure I am not alone. Thanks for the tour!

Congradulations!! Please do post back about some of the details, inquiring minds want to know.

 

How did you position them, did they have a breakin period, did you have to change any electronics for them?

 

Thanks Paul! I am still dialing them in, but for now I have them 20" from the front wall, 70.5" apart and 155" from my listening spot. They are pointed just behind my head. I am driving them with a recently purchased Hegel H30 power amp, in turn powered by a Pass Labs XP-20 pre amp. Front ends include a Playback Designs MPD-5 and VPI HRX turntable/Shelter Harmony cartridge/Pass Labs XP-15 phono pre.

 

The Magicos seem to have mellowed a bit over the past two weeks, though it's hard to tell. So far, I would change nothing. Hope that helps.
