Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison

A while back some friends and I did an 'AB' comparison between the Magico Mini 1 vs. my SF GH's. Too a man, we all preferred the SF's in my room, by a wide margin. Albeit,this was the Mini 1 and not the Mini 2s. So, I don't know how the SF's would stack up today against the Mini 2's, would be interested to see. BTW, at the time, there were numerous posts from disgruntled Magico owners in disbelief, they've probably all 'upgraded' to the Mini 2's since then.

Milimetr,
your statement about the Guarneri Memento being less transparent is interesting. One of the AB's my 'phile friends and I have done is a comparison between the SF GH's
and the SF GM's. This was very instructive since the GM's lost out in all areas except maybe a little more bottom end
heft. The GM's were far less transparent than the GH's. We postulated many reasons for this, most of which I have posted before on A'gon. SF seemed to have 'cheapened' if you will the speaker when they introduced the GM's and we all felt that this was obvious in the 'AB'.
The original GH's vs. the Mini 2's would be a better comparison IMHO.

Milimetr, unless I missed it, I do not see what is your preference as far as music goes. You say that the Wilson's and the Magico's are more dynamic than the GH's. I would agree that for 'headbangers' that that statement would hold true. Also, if your room is very large, then again the Wilson's and/or the Magico's would fill the space probably better. The GH's are basically small monitors ( note I don't say mini-monitors) and as such their ability to move big air is limited. OTOH, if you are looking for finesse in the reproduction of instruments and particularly un-amplified string instruments, IMHO the GH's are superior to the others.
The room and the type of music you like listening to is a factor in this issue.
With SF's one tends to get a speaker that is voiced more for classical/small jazz ensembles vs. Rock or large bombastic music. The Jadis amp you are using is also IMHO voiced somewhat similarly to the SF's. BTW, have you considered a Sub to extend the bottom end of the SF's ( which is what I suspect you are missing in the GH's vs. The V2's and the Wilsons). I would think that a Torus sub and the SF GH's would come in at a lower price than the V2's or certainly the Mini 2'and could be the answer for you.
