I know this is a necro post... but just to add my 2 cents. Poor recordings sound musical on the Mini II.
Magico Minis with poor-quality CDs rock/pop
Will the Magico Minis (or maybe V3s) scrape the paint off the walls or
send me running out of the room with Beatles, Stones,
Fleetwood Mac, British Rock, R.E.M., etc.?
Or do they require only well recorded Chesky, etc.
In other words are they ruthlessly revealing and searing
on these? Do they require tube amps to perform well?
(How about an Edge high-power solid state amp?)
Not looking for big-bass, slam, just some politeness
actually to tame bad CDs, as, IMHO, Aerial does,
and to some degree, Von Schweikert (I've owned both.)
I'm concerned when I read they "require only the best upstream equipment." I like speakers that can show inherent distortion on a recording, but somehow in a pleasant way. That's what I call good resolution. Thanks in advance.
