The best mini monitors you have heard?

Rwwear
very good looking speakers but because they are now discontinued..they don't have any specs on them. what would you compare them to? how low do they go in the bass dept. they have a waf to boot. nice find...

Hi Chaz801, I have had the Merlin TSM very good indeed but still more like HIFI for me. I have been told that the Aragons, to expensive for me are maybe the best monitor on earth by friends. The Maximus I am told is still similar to the Rubys but more bass and somewhat less highs than the Ruby and sounded better with the Harmonizers. All in ALL for me the Mark and Daniels line is truily amazing as music can sound live which is probably the highest compliment in all of Audio>> The editor of StereoMojo emailed me that he loves the Maximus he is currently reviewing, also made mention that they sound better than at the show for him now.

holy crap rwwear.....i've never heard the 3jr's....they are huge....a mini in a land of giants

You don't see many Charios in the US. They are very fine in my opinion. They are not great in the bass dept. They only go down to 50hz or so. My room is pretty big and they are out in the room quite a ways so I use a sub with them. They are only 43 inches tall. The larger model went down to 27hz.

Does anyone have the new Chario Millenium 2's with the twin 5" woofs? I hear they are better than the Academy 1's. I saw a pair for sale a while back but I have so much already invested in my Academy 1's (new drivers) I had to pass.
