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


Boy did we get a birthday surprise, we recently took on the Vimberg line after being blown away by the Vimberg Tonda D at Axpona.

We have ordered the Amea monitors, and we working on getting the Tonda D later in the year.

People who are looking at a great pair of floorstanding loudspeakers and are looking at the usual contenders, Wilson, Magico, Rockport should absolutely check out the new Vimbergs.

The latest Stereophile review was a complete rave and we agreeded with Mr. Atkinson. In our opinion the Vimberg’s are one of the most exciting new lines of loudspeakers to appear on the market in recent years.

How many people have heard the Vimbergs at Axpona and were blown away by them?

Is it just a coincidence that whenever you pick up a new product line it becomes the new best thing since sliced bread? I notice you're not a JBL Synthesis dealer, so of course you don't mention the Everest DD67000. That speaker offers far better dynamics and scale to the sound then two 8 inch drivers ever could.
I noticed that Vimberg is actually a subsiddary of Tidal. Indeed, the speakers look almost like Tidal, just a step down. As if Tidal offered smaller versions of their big speakers for half price.
I don’t think they’d over priced per se. Since I am enamoured with brands like Wilson, with their Alexia 2 model costing $58,000 as well as being one of my dream “end game” speakers, it would be hypocritical of me to suggest that these new speakers are over priced.

However I think a lot of these speakers on the low end of speaker manufacture offerings that are priced 8-20k and that are using small drivers are not the best use of your money. I just feel like there’s much, much more value if you double your budget and get something higher end. Like instead of the Vinberg, get Tidal.

this is just a wild theory in my part, but maybe Vinberg only exists as to not “cheapen” the tidal brand by offering “value oriented” speakers. They look exactly like smaller tidal speakers...
