Yes, well aware of that. I guess if I need to explain it, it’s not a joke.

Haha. I haven’t listened to the S5 yet. But in general, regardless of what materials your woofers are made of, especially if you’re using the same material design, you can get lower harmonic distortions from the bass drivers if they’re bigger. So at the very least the S5 would have slightly cleaner, less distorted bass than S3 because of the upgrade from 9” to 10” woofers. And of course the larger woofers can move more air so it’ll be easier to play louder too. This is just taking about the woofer upgrade alone. Now whether that is worth the cost of trade in and upgrade is a harder question to answer.
I could move air by adding my 2 rel 32's
Maybe somone that heard both will chim in before I do another upgrade .
Well thank you Mr. Mackay!
Got the call today that a pair of Magico S5 2024's is heading my way tomorrow (11/6/24). Will be traveling all next week so hopefully will have them available for install the week of November 18th.
Has anyone else waiting for S5's received an update on delivery?

According to my dealer, my pair of S5s is on its way, having been shipped from Magico to New York. From there, they will be sent to my dealer in Israel, and then to me. If all goes smoothly, I should receive them by early December.
That is good news indeed. Hopefully there will be no delays and you will be breaking them in soon. Looking forward to your first impressions. Cheers.
Magico S5 2024, serial numbers 41 & 42, arrived at my place earlier today (11/19/24). Big thank you to the people (Jeff, Jess, Taylor and Brad) at Soundings in Denver, CO.
Breakin has commenced. The most compelling initial impression is how "quiet" they sound. A "black hole" from which only music can escape.
Utterly transparent as a result of the remarkable lengths Magico has gone to quell anything extraneous from getting between the music and the listener. With only a few hours of playing, antithetically, the speakers sound simultaneously massive and tight.
Based on my experience with the A5, these will take a while to open up and reveal their essential character. For those interested, please stay tuned for updates.

In an effort not to hijack this thread I started a new thread focused on the audition of the S5 in my home.
