Rockport's or Magico's
You are welcome. Anytime, as usual. 
Rockport's or Magico's
The Wilson crowd thinks that the Magico’s are too polite. The Rockport crowd, thinks they are too analytical. They are, when all is said and done, a much more resolving, and therefore, sensitive to proper setup than the Rockport (or any other spea... 
Wilson's new speaker the Sasha is coming.
Mr Johnmaxx, thanks for joining in. So if aluminum is not a serious contender for speaker enclosures how do you explain the excellent decay plot on the YGA (http://stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/yg_acoustics_anat_reference_ii_professional_louds...

I tried them both and preferred the BADA

Try the MIT. Even the Magnum should do. 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
Frankpiet-Are you judging bass extension based on manufacture specs and propagandas? If so, you should buy the YGs. They are the “best speakers on earth” you know. Anyway, back to reality, the Avalon Indra, based on JA measurements were app 15 db ...

But the V2 is not out yet. But then again, this guy has not gotten his facts all lined up 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
Frankpiet-Not sure what you are talking about. What is a V2? Now if you are talking about the V3, I suggest that you ck the FR of the V3 vs. the Indra on SP reviews. The V3 covers a full octave more than the Indra. …“resonance character ceramique ... 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
I listen to the Avalon extensively before I bought my first Mini. The Avalon lower region performance hardly exist so I am not sure what “weight” exactly you are talking about (See JA measurements). Perhaps you are referring to the ‘ripens’ they h... 
YG Acoustics add in Stereophile
Physics are physics. A ported design like the Alter, will be apprx 24 db down from its reference efficiency point at 20Hz. Like it or not, that is how it goes. Whatever low bass you are hearing, is in your head not in the real world. In terms of t... 
YG Acoustics add in Stereophile
Koegz"rockport altair's and i can tell you without hesitation or any doubt at all that there are no box vibrations."Of course they do not vibrate. They have a big hole in the back… You did not find the bottom since, being a ported design, you do n...

Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s
Dev,I did not claim that MY speakers are BIGGER them yours. Quite the contrary. Also, I would not bring credibility to the table here. Perhaps you forget that after reading your comments on the Mini, I had offered to purchase your Minis from you (... 
Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s
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 list... 
Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s
How low a system can go is a function of many things. Driver size is not one of them. All things being equal, system with 10 X 15” woofers with an Fs of 45Hz will not go as low as a system with one 7” with an Fs of 33Hz (Mini). The 10 x 15” system...
