Magico Mini II vs V2 with Pass amps


I am considering new speakers and have heard both the Mini II and V2 in different systems, but not in mine or with Pass XA100.5 amps. My room is small and I value accurate timbre, transparency, a realistic soundstage and lifelike dynamics. I found the Mini II to be slightly more coherent with a slightly better soundstage, but the V2 went slightly lower and is an easier load for the amp. Both seemed very accurate, transparent and disappeared as sound sources. I listen mostly to small scale jazz (Ray Brown, Elle, Chet) and classical (Beethoven and Brahms, strings, piano and full orchestra).

I would appreciate opinions from people who have heard both speakers. Are my impressions consistent with what others have heard, which would satisfy more long term given my tastes? And what does anyone think about the Magico/Pass pairing. Thanks.

Hi Peter,

did you try a wp/sasha with your XA100.5? It's a kind of magic. I have both of them at home and the result is very great. You have the impression to be involved in the music. As you, I think that I will change my preamp for a XP20.
