JM Lab vs Aurum Cantus

I have an acquaintance(a friend of a good friend of mine)who had to sell his BIG RIG audio set-up,due to personal reasons,and moved into smaller quarters.He is a very serious record collector(you would know him,as he reviews for a British audio mag.)!!The point is,he dealt with his smaller listening quarters(still kept 2 turntables,mono and stereo)by downsizing to the Micro Berylliums,and BOY was he ever surprised as to how "fabulous" they sounded.Truth be told,as he tells my friend:"I don't miss my big set-up anymore"!!That says it all--I guess.Best of luck!

I my opinion, the JMs would be the solid choice. I have not heard the Aurum Cantas though. The JM Utopia line has always impressed me. From the Micro Model on up.

Good Luck!

I have a pair of the original JMlabs Micro Utopias and I absolutely love them! They're the most detailed and revealing yet musical speaker I've ever had at home. They're also easy to drive, I'm using 18 tube watts. They're also surprisingly full range, going down to about 40hz in my smallish room. Lastly the fit and finish is as good as it gets. Well worth checking out. I would imagine the Mini's are even better.
