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.

My friend has the Magico Minis.Previously a wonderful pair(too big for room) of three way Kharmas.I have heard a load of superb mini monitors.Love the Dynaudio C-1's,and the Sonus Faber Guarneri Momentos.I do Think the C-1's are hands down,the best overall value....including the best I have heard,and by a good margin,which are definitely the Magico Minis!...But...the current asking price(30,000 dollars) of the Minis is definitely way out of line,IMO.They are superb,but don't kill the C-1's,to the degree of the price differential.
I think the TAD monitor,which is still being developed,will come in a bit lower in price than the Magico(if TAD is clever),and give it a real run for the money.I hope so,anyway!
Good luck.
