Help needed! (Magico S3 or TAD Evolution One?)

[MightyMart]

I listened to the S3 last year in Copenhagen at the Hilton hotel but I cant really remember what I thougt of them and the same setup was used in Gothenburg during the show at Elite hotel but I was not so impressed with that one, this was before I bougt my 200 so I liked the Devialet concept but not so much the paring with Magico in that room.

The Tad Evo1 I think I have listened to them but cant recall when, most shows I have been to have used the R1 and that is really good so if the Evo 1 is anything like that I think that is a good coice.

Dont you have a possibility to test them with your 400?

I feel no need to test them since I've heard them both and know what they are capable of, but also what sets them apart a bit. The Magicos are a slightly more exact and the bass response is insane (11,6 Hz with SAM compared to TAD's 19 Hz with SAM). The TADs are perhaps a "tad" more musical but not as exact, they also have a bigger foot print (512 mm D) and I fear that the company will loose some of it's reputation now that Andrew Jones have left for ELAC. This would if so of course also have a negative effect on second hand prices on TAD speakers.
