Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s

Hey Dev,have a glass of wine,and relax.Then re-read my first paragraph...Carefully!!There was suposed to be a good dose of humor in my remarks!!

Nobody's "attacking" anyone,and virtually ALL comments made here are someone's opinion....Including "yours"!!

Sorry if you got mad,but there might be some folks who view your statement about the V-3's not being so hot,as just as intimidating,as how you perceived my MBL "opinion".

Yes,you are correct!I've only heard the MBL's at Trade shows.....MANY TIMES,and maybe somebody has to tell MBL to lower the volume and work on that ported bass annoyance,because on virtually every occassion,the suspension of disbelief was not there.I've not once heard articulate bass from them.If I am wrong you "gladly" have my apology!!

Btw,EBM now has as valid a system as any I've heard.With the addition of his new Minis,he can feel worry free,and secure enough to not get peeved every time some hobbyist makes an off base comment.

Best

Dev,
I did not claim that MY speakers are BIGGER them yours. Quite the contrary. Also, I would not bring credibility to the table here. Perhaps you forget that after reading your comments on the Mini, I had offered to purchase your Minis from you (I have been looking for a used pair for almost a year now). Did not seems like you were too eager to sale them. From your response I got the feeling that you are more than just a bystander and, most likely does not even have a Mini on hand. Perhaps a dealer of some sort. I do see that you have a brand new pair of MBL for sale. So what is your agenda?

I must say : We all hear differently!!
That said, I still think mbl is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else to my ears and my aural memory!
But why??????? Why are there so many speakers and their die-hard fans?
I must admit that I need to revisit the mbl setup. Since hearing them the last time when I was blown away I have done alot of listening and my ability to listen has improved. So now with more experience under my belt I would like to hear them again.
I think the best way to nail this is by doing a direct comparison, live music and then the speaker systems.
I would love to see this done, I would pay to participate.
Now that would be a killer stereo expo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem Sirspeedy, yes MBL needs to lower the volume at shows so people truly can experience what the speakers can do but there still would be an issue and that being MBL gear driving them, not a fan of MBL amps.

Roypan I'm a personal user in the hobby and have no hidden agenda only say it the way it is, I never put the Magico's up for sale on Audiogon and you just contacted me out of the blue. You have no feedback and your reply seemed like you were a dealer or had another agenda, didn't really matter to me anyways I already had a buyer if I wanted to sell them within my district. Regarding my MBL's for sale you should read threads prior to this one of mine and it is clearly stated why but then again I was polite enough to have already answered your personal email to me regarding this.

Regarding reviews, shows, and showrooms I do not know which one is worse and if this is how you compare wow!
