I have had my S3 2023 since last Oct at our 2 nd place and sad to say I've maybe had a chance to listen 8 hrs total . I did notice rightway they were superior by a large margin to the A5 . I picked up a digital DAC so I will be letting them play and get them broke in . I didn't feel comfortable...
Nice write up , congrats. I have not been that lucky my S3's are still sitting with around 15 hrs on them . I hope to have some time next week to put a few more hours on them .
I just got the S3 2023 unpacked last night and did a quick setup since it was late . I listened about 2 hrs , I will say out of the crate with no break in they are " Superior " to the A5 by a big margin. I honestly did not think the S3 2023 would be this much of a improvement.I hope to listen...
I lost big on my A5 trade in , my fault I should of bought the A5 when first released . I waited and purchased when price jumped . The problem with that is the guys that bought at lower price are listing the A5 now . I'm also assuming that the S3 MK2 will be also popping up at a nice discount...
I was just told the A5 with (2) magico titan subs is suppose to best S3 2023 but I don't see it . I'm thinking more bass on a A5 is not going make up for what the S3 2023 is offering no way , it's not even a bass issue
Thanks for taking the time to post this , I decided to just order a pair of S3's should have them in a week or two . I'm sure I will like them. I will share thoughts once I get them setup .
