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.

MINI 2 with 300 watts per channel in my room 13WX19/3/4d with 9Ft cealing Rowland 8T sounds wonderful with vocal etc magic!! Im using Kharma speaker wire. I do agree speaker price is getting too high. v2 is wonderful with more bass i heard people with Rel subs on mini for super system however this being said V2 is a bargin!!MINI 2 is the best small monitor!!
Mini 2 better midrange needs more than 60W to drine i have Rowland 8t 300w ch into MINI room is like yours. If you want better imaging and a speaker that disappears MINI 2 is it more bass V2 both great MINI 2 is the best small monitor.
MAGICO MINI 2 and V2 two great speakers with wonderful sound Sason great budget speaker not in a class with MAGICO.
I have MAGICO MINIS and love them .I did hear Sason speakers at Ridge street Audio Design Room 437 Rocky Mountain in 2008 they sounded fine heard them with my wife in two more Friends they all agreeded MAGICO MINI 2 Much better faster better highs etc.If thats all you have to spend they are a good speaker at the price.
OBVISOUSLY SIR SPEEDY HAS A PERSONNAL VENDETTA AGAINST ME AND MY WIFE. THIS HAS NO PLACE IN AUDIOGON. IT IS CHILDISH. THIS SHOULD BE A PROFESSIONAL FORUM! I love my system but i love live classical music more.
Sir speedy is the guy who got positive feedback from at least 12 members and left none for them!!!
HI i have MINI 2 with Rowland 8T 250ch damping factor of 100,20hzto20khz 8 ohms does a great job of controling woofer lots of slam. V2 V3 are easyer to drive.
Never had troble with my minis tweeter sounds great to me i love violin!!What about imaging and magic midrange!!
Two great speakers which one depends on your room and musical tastes. This being said i have MAGICO MINI 2 With REL STENTOR SUBWOOFER I now have a true SUPER SYSTEM!!
IT sounds great in my room im happy i have a friend with M5 he is using rel top sub it soumds WONDERFUL. You have a right to your opinion it depends on the room and persons musical tastes.Its my system you must hear it in my room your always invited when in NEW YORK i have great respect for your opinions but its mine that counts in the end! Have you ever heard a MINI 2 with sub V3 has more impact but does not really go very low. Its a great hobby i use sub for big classical not chamber.I spoke to a few dealers that have customers that use MINI and subs. I think it does match in my room!! I really appreciate your opinions you guys are wonderful and very knowledgable audiophiles!!ANYBODY USING MINI2 With SUBS PLEASE AD YOUR 2 CENTS!!What a great hobby. This being said live classical music is my ultimate reference. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR ADVICE!!
I guess you love a wall of sound with no imaging! MAGICOS ARE WONDERFUL MINI 2, V3, M5 just because you cant afford them dont bad mouth them . Had Maggies years ago now i have a real speaker. What the hell is a French sound DUH!!
What do Maggies have in common withe the pyrimids there ancient history!!WAKE UP!!!
