Alan Sircom bespricht im Septemberheft 2013 von „Hi-Fi+“ die Magico S 1 in einer wohltuend unaufgeregten Weise, fern der beinahe schon allgegenwärtigen Überschwenglichkeiten.
Seine Meinung: Die S 1
„does astronomically expensive speaker performance without the Apollo Space Mission sticker price. It has the ‘no magic in the Magico’ neutrality, but where the Q-range takes that to the logical extreme, this is a more fun speaker.“
Die S 1, so seine Beurteilung, ist eine Magico ideal für kleinere Räume.
„In some ways, this makes for the perfect ‘now’ loudspeaker; highly accurate, designed for modern life and without any of the fake ‘niceness’ or ‘impressive’ tailoring that normally comes with a high-end design. Highly recommended!“
