Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s

By effects, I guess I was referring to bass with no pitch... like the hall rumbling after the hammer strikes in Mahler Sixth. I find Timpanni to be fine... but perhaps not a bass drum (again, no pitch)...64 ft pipe organ, dont know about this one, dont have much organ music.

IMHO No speaker equals the mbl's.
The only one thing that makes me say that is that of all the rooms I entered at the shows, non made an impression of sounding life-like as did the mbl's.
But we all hear differently, and that's why we have so many brands to choose from.
Bottom line: find what works for you.

Magico Mini 2 more open more musical it draws you into the event more. In a small room it works wonders with the right amp preamp etc.MBL better in LARGE room!!

The way MBL reproduces sound is a gimmick. Noble perhaps, but yet a gimmick. Music is not captured in an omnidirectional way and, for sake of accuracy and fidelity, should not be reproduce this way. A fun system indeed but not for any serious listening.

Wow! what a statement, MBL's are "A fun system indeed but not for any serious listening" Making such only demonstrates you obviously don't like MBL's which is okay but doing so is an insult to any MBL owners such as myself and clearly demonstrates your lack of credibility. There is no best out there, all speakers have their strengths and weakness as do your M3's. M3's aren't all that and I personally have no desire to own a pair.
