Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE

Audio reproduction is not as subjective as so many of you think. If you bother to study a bit about it and about the way the gear you spend so much money on tackle the issue, you will become a much better “listener”, and perhaps have some advice worth giving.

Bravo!

Although I forgot to mention it, because it was I thought reasonably obvious, the tests were done frequency compensated.

Would love to read about these tests, could you please point me (us) to their whereabouts?

They were done by a speaker designer I know...

Who will conduct a worthwhile listening test comparing a “compensated” (eq) signal to a pure one??

BTW, taken from your link:
“Most people that aren't used to "accurate" bass with proper pitch and damping (long time users of vented speakers) should probably use something closer to a static Qtc of .65 or .70 or so”

As Usermanual already pointed out, all things being equal, there are no psychoacoustics reasons to prefer a “compromised” parameter on a “sound” one. However, there may be plenty of psychological reasons to do so.
