Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison


Hello,

I am looking for new speakers for my system.

After auditioning many famous brands I found the Magico V2 to be simply outstanding in my system. This is the best speaker I have tried in my own listening room. The second speaker I was comparably impressed were old Guarneri Hommages. Other speakers I have tried did not impressed me or simply played bad.

The room is 20’ long and 13’ width. The amplifier is 60W Jadis JA-80.

For my room I prefer monitor speakers than floorstanding. Doeas anybody compared directly side by side Magico V2 and Magico Mini II? I am especially interested in bass preformane. Is Mini II has less bass than V2 it will not suits my taste. The bass of the V2 is just enough for my room.

If somebody compared new Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento with Magico Mini II I will be also grateful for opinion.

Sirspeedy,

Have not seen you trolling around Magico threads for some time. Have looked at your suggestions. Unfortunately, as usual, you bring nothing to the table but bad taste. Now don’t you start whining ("... I am only offering a well thought out alternative...") Your passive-aggressive style will not do. The post title Mini 2 vs. V2. If you wish to recommend other speakers, I am sure you can find a thread to do it on.BTW, I am sure your Mazda is better than EBM Porsche as well.
I think it is a mistake to think that the Mini with a sub equal a "SUPER SYSTEM". The Minis are what they are. Probably the best monitor ever built and one of the best loudspeakers out there. BUT, they do not become a "SUPER SYSTEM" just because you add a sub to them. There is a lot more to a "SUPER SYSTEM" then just a poor support system below 40 Hz (Yes, that is all most subs do). If you need a "fuller range" speakers, you should look at the V3 and also probably the V2. The M5 is a good example to what a "SUPER SYSTEM" can sound like. You can't quite get there, in fact you are far off IMO, with even the best monitor and the best sub.
