I have heard the MA B2....a nice speaker. If the S2 is an upgrade to that, and you like them a lot, then go for it.
Does the shop where you heard the S2's have a nice return policy? If so, and you are still curious about the Ascends, do the 30 day trial on a pair a pair of each. In home is the best place to compare.
Otherwise, don't sweat it, go for the S2 and enjoy them.
