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?

So you pay 30k or 40k on a speaker and they dont give you any proof that youre getting a superior speaker. All you get is the manufacturers say so and a few positive reviews to reinforce it.
not even a frequency response graph.

Plus you know they are not gonna be custom tuned to your ears so that guarantees imperfect sound plus horrible passive crossovers that are not as accurate as active crossovers. Not to mention horrible rectangular cabinets with too much diffraction off the edge.

It really is a disaster. I wouldnt buy it.

Listening to them would be proof to the individual, that they are getting a superior speaker to THEM. 

There are enough speakers in every price range, to find a speaker that fits what the listener wants from a speaker.

Passive crossovers, are not horrible, if they are designed correctly with good quality parts. Nor are active crossovers always better. Active crossovers have their own set of problems. 

And please point out the rectangular boxes used by Vimberg... 

I've been begging you for months already, to not buy any speakers, and take up a different hobby.
