Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s
Hi SirSpeedy,Indeed... it is a common assumption that smaller-sized speakers cannot deliver the deep bass compare to larger speakers. I used to belong to this camp as well, until I listened to the MM II. I guess when a speaker is properly designed... 
Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s
I am a Mini II owner, so I guess you know what I am going to say as my preference.I have listened to the Kharma, MBL etc mentioned in the thread. I too would rule Sonus Faber out immediately as they are very colored and are clearly 'voiced' after ... 
Cost no Object but Small Room
hi henryhk,my Mini II just got passed the 200hours mark.Given we are both in HK, I understand the room size issues very well. I am also moving, but won't be moving for another 8 months. My future room should be bigger and will be dedicated. Initia... 
Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1
Sirspeedy, the list of questions you asked is pretty much the exact list of questions I am asking myself.Here are my thoughts and observations so far:1) The Torus is one of the better subs out there. I am using it via digital crossover and a 1000W... 
Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1
Hi Sirspeedy,My initial impressions of the Mini II are very positive. When I first heard the Mini II at the dealer's showroom, I was, for a short while, in 'denial' mode. How could the 'perfect' Mini be improved?! But Magico certainly did somethin... 
Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1
My Mini were just upgraded to II. When new, they do sound a little lifeless, but that is because the new woofers really need time to break in! I am only at the 100 hours mark, and will patiently let them break in for another week before any critic... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
Hi musicality17.My room is a very odd shape. It's very long. Close to 40 ft long. I used the Cardas setup as guidelines to place the speakers. I think they work reasonably well for my room.And to Daveyf a,d Dan_haan,No need to turn this into an ug... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
hi musicality17,my room is about 13ft wide. 11.5 should work, of course you could always try the long side approach. you are right, they do put out a LOT of energy. 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
Davef, can you pls tell me which dealer loaned you a pair of Mini for home trial? 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
Davef, I too am interested to know which dealer allows home demo of the Magico Mini!? That is a major operation! The dealer who did that for you needs to be commended. I agree with Dan, that the 16k 'noise' seen in the waterfall is likely the resu... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
Sirspeedy, Thank you for your kind words. I hope you get to listen to them soon! When setup correctly, they will impress you.Daveyf and Dan,It is indeed a little curious to say that the G has more naturally extended highs then the Mini. The tweete... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
I am a little late to the discussion, but would still like to add my 2 cents.Much of the discussion so far surround the Mini and the SF Guarneri.I currently own and use the Mini, and I used to own the Guarneri. (the original)To compare the Guarner... 
Sealed Loudspeakers?
You are definitely on the "right path" imo. Magico Mini should be on top of your list. In fact, all Magico speakers are sealed designs. Once you hear properly executed acoustic suspension designs, there's no going back to the ported ones.(disclaim... 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
I actually like the fact that they named it 'Mini'! The understated nature of the word is meant to be deceiving and imho, comical. =) 
speakers similar to Magico Mini's
Dear Rhljazz,I am a proud owner of a pair of Magico Mini.First of all, they are not first-order cross over designs. I actually had the opportunity to meet with Alon Wolf a few months ago when he dropped by Hong Kong. I asked him about first-order ...
