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.

For crying out loud, can we please talk about Magico speakers instead of one another?

Milimetr - I'm surprised to learn the Jadis has enough power.

How important is damping factor for an amp to find happiness with the V2, V3, Mini II ? Seems most of the SS amps reported to work well come in w/ a damping factor above 100 and Watts at 150 or more.

"anything" by Ravel,Debussy.....preferrably conducted by Andre Cluytens,on a nice early pressing EMI LP......

ah, Cluytens! Love his Pastoral on EMI - one of the few to rival Boehm.

What tube amps besides VAC Phi 300.1 and ARC Ref 210 will drive well the Magico V2 or V3? hybrid Lamm 1.2?
