A star is born.... Stereophile review of the Vimberg Mino

Unfortunately, your ’open’ reads like and basically is an advert. I haven’t heard the speakers; at this point, your ’announcement’ here would incite a preference in me not to.

👍
From the first post this thread reads like an ad, so obvious so blatant.
They maybe good speakers, they maybe a dog with flees, but it should not be in the hands of a self professed retailer of them, to say or do advertising for them.
The thread should be shut down, till an "impartial" hopefully seasoned member with a few post preferably under his belt, starts a thread on them, then the retailer can put his "2 cents" worth in.

Lets address some of these issues:

D2girls the Vimberg line is an exact clone of Tidal designed by Tidal, the intent is to dramatically make the loudspeakers more affordable for people so they exposuse the same design methodology, use similar parts and have similar attributes. Vimberg is designed to offer about 80% of the performance of the more expensive models. 

The Tidal Akiva is $215k the Vimberg version of the same loudspeaker is $45k.

Also D2 Girls we can get JBL perhaps not everyone wants a gigantically wide, industrial looking 1950's monolith, in their Living Room, also not everyone enjoys the extremely wide yet unfocused sound stage that these types of loudspeakers do, if we did we would pick Avante Garde that makes the best horn loudspeakers in our opinion.

“The Tidal Akiva is $215k the Vimberg version of the same loudspeaker is $45k“

That is still crazy money to be dumping on a pair of speakers. There are plenty of excellent offerings from Eastern Europe that can be had under $20K.

Lalik so is a pair of $325k Wilson Chronosonics a better deal

Is a Buggatli Veyron at $2.2 Million a better deal than a new Corvette at $60-100K.

There will always be asspirational products that represent the ultimate in performance.

We ran a test T + A R 2500 vs the Krell K300i the more expensive piece was better it is always the buyers job to figure out for themselves how good they want whatever they are buying and if the more expensive piece is worth the improvemets for the price.

You can buy a Timex or a Rolex if accuracy and price are important buy a Timex if you crave craftsmenship and love the look and feel of a high end watch you buy one for those reasons.
