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

"Well, it does not look like they have managed to achieve this goal..."

Usermanual, may I ask what is the basis for your statement?

Thanks!

Best,

I'm still waiting for Kiddmann to explain his comment (on 10/22) about why he thinks Magico has "higher distortion".
Peterayer, Don't hold your breath.

Listen to them and then, if you are still not sure, go read JA review of the Churchill...

I would go the magic/hegel route - RMAF show that just passed - hegel was touted to have the best in show sound with Magico S1 driven by their new humble 75wpc Hegel H80 (the sound was seductively silky smooth).

I've owned the Magico S5's and now have a pair of Tannoy Canterbury GR's in the same spot. It's no contest. Tannoy's are much more musical, and their excellent efficiency and easy load allow for near endless amplifier choices - including some wonderful 300b or 845/211 SET options.
