Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1

Better is not what measures better. Better is what sounds better in your room with your electronics. Sometimes they coincide.

I've actually done a comparison at a shop that sells Rockports and Magicos (accidentally stumbled into this little shoot out), and although both deliver the goods in the mega buck sound arena, I preferred the Rockports as seeming slightly more "there," which is actually neither here nor there. My current well sorted home rig sounds just as good (to me anyway) which relieves me from feeling the need to spend the large bucks. Bullet dodged!

I'd suggest you audition the Devore Gibbon X and the Wilson Sabrina. They are on the opposite side of Magico.
