AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II

Linkster: I still have the Diabolos for home audition. Just started listening to the Kharmas and I must say: the by far most detailed and coherent speaker I´ve ever listend to. Exceptionel well imagers a huge and deep soundstage and a remarkably hefty baseline for such a small speaker. If I would give the Mini Exquisites a 100% I would say the Indras are at 90% and the Diabolos at 85%. I´ll have the chance to listen to the Mini II´s in two to three weeks time and then I´ll decide which way to go (either the Mini Exquisites or the Mini II´s or the new V 2 - if released by that time). By the way: I´ve swapped the Shunyatas for Kubala Sosna Emotions and find the a better match with Boulder and Avalon as well as with the Kharmas.

Well it sounds like the Diablo's are the winner of the group purely based on price considerations. Heard anything about Raidho's Ayra loudspeakers?

Frankpiet, If you like the Mini Exq., why not consider the Midi Exq? There is a pair for sale for 36k. Just a thought.

Husk01: I´m trying to downsize as I have aproblem with bloomy bass in my smaller listening room.

Linkster: you are right. price-performance wise the Diabolos are a clear 10. Sonic wise they are by far not in the league of the Mini Exquisites that I will keep if the Magicos will fail.

Frank,
Above you mention Rockport...I would endorse the idea that you take a close look at their offerings...they have been offering performance that to me some of the products you are looking at a just getting into...such as cabinet noise...and generally very low sonic colloration.
