Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison

Hello,

I am looking for new speakers for my system.

After auditioning many famous brands I found the Magico V2 to be simply outstanding in my system. This is the best speaker I have tried in my own listening room. The second speaker I was comparably impressed were old Guarneri Hommages. Other speakers I have tried did not impressed me or simply played bad.

The room is 20’ long and 13’ width. The amplifier is 60W Jadis JA-80.

For my room I prefer monitor speakers than floorstanding. Doeas anybody compared directly side by side Magico V2 and Magico Mini II? I am especially interested in bass preformane. Is Mini II has less bass than V2 it will not suits my taste. The bass of the V2 is just enough for my room.

If somebody compared new Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento with Magico Mini II I will be also grateful for opinion.

Every speaker has drawbacks and limitations.

Buy/own the design which meets the budget, maintains matrimonial harmony, and maximizes your listening enjoyment.

IMO

Acoustic instruments just seem to sound a bit more natural and uncompressed through say a planar speaker<<

Possibly.

But a bass drum or pipe organ won't.

Every speaker is a trade off of some sort.

I disagree, Bass drums never sounded so realistic<<

Perhaps you've never heard a live bass drum.

Maggies don't do it well. It's one of their limitations.

Thanks.
