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.

The title reads " Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison"...... not what speaker do you think is better than Magico....

I would like to hear more about Magico's line and I am sure others would too.

Magico speakers are very expensive and completely useless without commensurate electronics, cables and acoustics. You need to hear them and have lot's of money. I have heard them and find them to be good speakers, more French sounding then anything. The older I get the more offensive I find companies that try to overcompensate for inherently flawed designs and then charge the customer a kings ransome for said designs.

that's nonsense Daveb---i took a BAT integrated to a dealer and it drove the V3s with amplomb. the dealer was even taken back how live the sound was as he had his doubts going in.

Actually "French Sound" is rather easy to recognize....

EITHER

"anything" by Ravel,Debussy.....preferrably conducted by Andre Cluytens,on a nice early pressing EMI LP......

OR

A hefty serving of Fois Gras,followed by Escargot and heavy Duck in Orange sauce....then....

wait until about 3:00 AM and "VOILA"....


FRENCH SOUND!! -:)

Which ever you prefer is strictly a personal choice!
