Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1


Hi,

They just changed the Mini after wonderfull reviews : woofer not the same, filter probably too.
Price increase from 22 to 26K$.

Is the new Magico Mini 2 better than the first Magico Mini ?
What are the best amp match for those baby ?

Which speakers are direct competitors ?

Thank you for sharing your experiences

ok.... I believed there were announcing a new model 3 to bridge the gap between the mini and the model6....
More dynamic than 1s MUCH better bass More relaxed sound.BEST amp to drive ROWLAND 8T.You any of you own these!!How do you like them?
I have heard EBM's Rowland 8t Mini set-up,and will confirm that the Rowland is miraculously good.Neither EBM or myself have ever really heard the Mini model 1,but from everything we have read(other posters,and owners)confirm that the model II is superior.
His system is amazingly good,with rediculously good low bass,for such a small(not really)speaker.Tonal balance is superb,with decent soundstage(he has a fairly small,crowded room,but a good one).The high frequencies are amazingly linear,with wonderful detail.Only criticism is a slight lack of upper midrange air.
I believe the new,warmer mid/bass driver contributes to the ever so slight(only a nit-pick)lack of upper midrange air.Other than that,this is a wonderful speaker.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounded like you were listening to the Mini 1 but you said that you “believe the new, warmer mid/bass driver contributes to the ever so slight (only a nit-pick)lack of upper midrange air.” So I am a bit confuse, did you hear the Mini2 as well? I have not heard the Mini 2 yet so I am very curious.
