The best mini monitors you have heard?

Two ways, either stand-mounted or small floor standers. If you have good experience, could you share? I have been using the Kharma 3.2s for a few years, so take that as my reference point. I have heard the Magico Minis...impressive initially but too aggressive for prolonged listening..and arguably overpriced IMHO. I haven't heard the MKII version. I recently heard the Dynaudio Confidence C1, driven by Plinius electronics. I was impressed, esp when i found out it can be had for 1/3 to 1/4 the price of the 3.2s or the Minis. What else is out there? please share.

Pubul57,
A friend has the Magico's which I've heard many many times. Yes they are good but I prefer the Ridgestreet Sason's to the Mini's for a couple of reasons. First, the Sason's disappear like no other speaker I've heard. They, the Sason's, also layer front to back better than any other speaker I've heard. I also think the Sason's are the more transparent to the source of the two. Factor in price and it's a no brainer. Even if price weren't a factor, it wouldn't change my preference. Ridgestreet is a low profile company so you may have to work at it a bit to hear a pair but it will be worh it.
