Not sure the S7 could get any better
Wonderful speaker
Ha haI totally agree. I listened to them with Spectral components and the top-of-the-line MIT loom and they sounded just about perfect. Not sure what they could do to make them better aside from turning them into the M Series.

Vandersteen very special as well
Would love to hear the Model7 "Mk2"
If I remember correctly, S7 is what started the whole S series mk2 generation in terms of technology used, so it sounds more similar to mk2 series than the original S series.
S7 tweeter is the same 1” diamond coated Be as S5 mk2. Same midrange nano-tec cone driver and bass aluminum cone driver as well. But S5 mk2 does have convex shape top plate that S7 does not have.
+1
The only thing the S7 is missing is a convex top. I was actually surprised they didn't launch an updated S7 shortly after the S3 mk 2 and S5 mk 2 were introduced. That is a shame, as the convex top would make the speaker much better looking (it is amazing how such a small detail can change the looks) and at the same time, would not aggravate the current owners too much (as performence wise, not much would change, if anything).
Right now it is probably too late ... but who knows. They wouldn't tell in advance anyway.
I was also told no updates planned for the Magico S7 speakers last time I asked.
