Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1

ok.... I believed there were announcing a new model 3 to bridge the gap between the mini and the model6....

More dynamic than 1s MUCH better bass More relaxed sound.BEST amp to drive ROWLAND 8T.You any of you own these!!How do you like them?

I have heard EBM's Rowland 8t Mini set-up,and will confirm that the Rowland is miraculously good.Neither EBM or myself have ever really heard the Mini model 1,but from everything we have read(other posters,and owners)confirm that the model II is superior.
His system is amazingly good,with rediculously good low bass,for such a small(not really)speaker.Tonal balance is superb,with decent soundstage(he has a fairly small,crowded room,but a good one).The high frequencies are amazingly linear,with wonderful detail.Only criticism is a slight lack of upper midrange air.
I believe the new,warmer mid/bass driver contributes to the ever so slight(only a nit-pick)lack of upper midrange air.Other than that,this is a wonderful speaker.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounded like you were listening to the Mini 1 but you said that you “believe the new, warmer mid/bass driver contributes to the ever so slight (only a nit-pick)lack of upper midrange air.” So I am a bit confuse, did you hear the Mini2 as well? I have not heard the Mini 2 yet so I am very curious.

I am referring to the MINI II,which EBM owns.He,previously had Kharma speakers(1.0)which had a very open and airy upper midrange,hence my nit-pick of the Minis,in this area.Basically,when playing the same reference discs we use for all occassions,the Magico has a little less "life" in the upper mid,compared to the Kharmas.Only my personal opinion!I hear this on female voice,and it makes sense,that a carbon fiber based mid driver would have this trait.It is NO big deal,but how I hear it!I definitely like them better,overall,than his Kharma 1.0's.
In truth,the Minis have gotten overwhelming good press.They are fabulous speakers,IMO,but not perfect.Nothing is!
