The new S5 is a nice looking speaker in person. Nice curvaceous lines to its design. While it is significantly larger than the speaker it replaces (~31% more internal volume) it is much more svelte in appearance imho than the previous S5.
As a side note, in the video posted by CKKueng and in the attached photo, there is a rectangular platform under the S5 that is not part of the speaker. It was used at the show for display purposes only. My friend Jeff from Soundings, the Magico dealer in Denver, Colorado, was kind enough to pose in the attached to provide some scale to gauge the size of the new S5. Jeff is roughly the same height as I ; 6’ tall.
Lighting in the room was not particularly good but I hope the photo provides some benefit for those not able to attend AXPONA in person.
