Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison

Hello,

I am looking for new speakers for my system.

After auditioning many famous brands I found the Magico V2 to be simply outstanding in my system. This is the best speaker I have tried in my own listening room. The second speaker I was comparably impressed were old Guarneri Hommages. Other speakers I have tried did not impressed me or simply played bad.

The room is 20’ long and 13’ width. The amplifier is 60W Jadis JA-80.

For my room I prefer monitor speakers than floorstanding. Doeas anybody compared directly side by side Magico V2 and Magico Mini II? I am especially interested in bass preformane. Is Mini II has less bass than V2 it will not suits my taste. The bass of the V2 is just enough for my room.

If somebody compared new Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento with Magico Mini II I will be also grateful for opinion.

It is amazing how much effort and capitol some will put into trying to reduce the effects of the fundemental design flaw in a speaker. All the effort and cost put into making a box sound less like a box...lunacy! Break free fellow audiophiles...Magnepan awaits you:O)

Please,its getting old...While Dave must be the spokes person for Magnepan,IMO I would venture to say most would agree the offerings from Magico are in a different league!!!

Hmm,well though I really "do" like the Mini actually,I must admit Maggies are wonderful/well priced designs...but...

having a few friends who has had them over the years,they take up alot of space,and are a difficult product to convince the wife to add to a living room/audio room/"any" room"-:)

So,not to knock anything(since we are all talking about truly fine designs) I personally like a combination plate(just for me,if and when I make a comeback,as in "sell my house"...since my last child is moving out)...

Here's my choice,based on experience and my own intuition...

Ridge Street Audio Sason,with Townshend Ribbon Super Tweters(heard these on a similar silk dome tweeter,and was floored)and "two" supporting JL Audio Fathom 110 subs.Sealed design and bullet fast.

I LOVE the MINI,but this combo can be had for almost half the price,with NO drawbacks....Best thing is a good tube amp can easily drive this.....ONLY my taste!!

Best to all...."almost"! -:)
