I remember the Magico Mini from years ago. It made the cover of TAS and got a rave review from Jonathan Valin. I read the review - and thought that the Mini was way overpriced at $30K. Even figuring in the 30% dealer markup it still was appallingly costly!
Magico Mini 2
I've been listening to the same set up for a 6-7 years now and been fairly happy till recently, when I saw a pair of Magico Mini 2 at a used dealer. I am of course very curious about these speakers as they were unobtainable back when they were released.
My present system are listed below. For music, I value musicality, timbre and staging, listening mostly to vocals and small jazz groups. Nothing too loud in a small 12x18 ft listening room
Esoteric K05x with Cybershaft clock
Aurender S10
Acuphase E450
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor
Mixture of Acrolink and Shunyata cables with a Hydra conditioner
My questions are
- Is the Magico Mini 2 still relevant and one of the best out there? AT USD12K used, it isn't exactly cheap but certainly a price I can buy into to try the Magico sound.
- Understand that its a power hungry speakers and I'll likely need to switch my amp as well eventually... are there any intergrates options out there that you can suggests?
- Not all standmounts are the same and while my auditors work well in my smallish room, can anyone advise if this will be a problem? Changing the room is not an option ;)
Thank you for taking your time to read this and please offer your thoughts and advise, especially former/present Mini 2 owners.
