AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II

Hi. Currently rebuilding my complete set-up. My Indras will have to go as my listening room moves to a smaller space now (4x5,5 meters).
I´ve heard great things about AAD 7001´s and Magico Mini´s - both beeing said to build the finst monitors available.
Any experiences with these two brands ?
rgds., Frank

I use Boulder 1021 + 1060 electronics.

Frankpiet, If you like the Mini Exq., why not consider the Midi Exq? There is a pair for sale for 36k. Just a thought.

Husk01: I´m trying to downsize as I have aproblem with bloomy bass in my smaller listening room.

Linkster: you are right. price-performance wise the Diabolos are a clear 10. Sonic wise they are by far not in the league of the Mini Exquisites that I will keep if the Magicos will fail.

Frank,
Above you mention Rockport...I would endorse the idea that you take a close look at their offerings...they have been offering performance that to me some of the products you are looking at a just getting into...such as cabinet noise...and generally very low sonic colloration.

Hikejohn. I would assume that the Rockports will produce to much bass in my smaller listening room.

Tired of looking around I now settled with a quite unusual appoach: I´ve sold the 1060 and bought a pair of audiostatic DCA fully active electrostatic speakers. Speed, transparency and resolution are top notch and easy outperform what I´m used to with the Indras and what I´ve heard so far from the Focals or Kharmas.
Bass goes down fairly low (25hz.)
