Magico S1

This speaker looks very interesting and reasonably priced for a Magico. Anyone heard it and willing to offer thoughts, opinions?

I think you mean proportional bass, not deep bass. It is about time audiophiles distinguish between boosted midbass and actual extension.

In addition to the Magico S1, I auditioned the Thiel CS3.7, B&W 802D, Verity Leonore, Sonus Faber Cremona M, Thiel CS2.7, and Aerial Acoustics 7T. I ended up buying the Sonus Faber (the CS3.7 was second choice) because I felt its midrange best captured the warmth and "feel" of live music (classical in particular).
