The best mini monitors you have heard?

I too have heard the Excalante speakers are very nice. No dealer in my area :-(

At this price range, it really is worth listening to the Wilson Duettes and many others. But per the initial comments about the satisfaction with the Dynaudio's, why not go with those. They make a nice speaker that perform well. You don't hear of too many people that grow dissatisfied with them, other than to possibly work up their line. Very well rounded speakers.

Best monitor I ever heard were the Platinum Audio Reference 1's they needed juice but could they play.

Magico mini's.

Has anyone who has heard the Magico Minis thought any other mini-monitor was better? I have not heard one. I heard them at the Stereophile show with VAC Phi integrated and that was surely the best monitor performance I ever heard - at a very steep price though.

My friend has the Magico Minis.Previously a wonderful pair(too big for room) of three way Kharmas.I have heard a load of superb mini monitors.Love the Dynaudio C-1's,and the Sonus Faber Guarneri Momentos.I do Think the C-1's are hands down,the best overall value....including the best I have heard,and by a good margin,which are definitely the Magico Minis!...But...the current asking price(30,000 dollars) of the Minis is definitely way out of line,IMO.They are superb,but don't kill the C-1's,to the degree of the price differential.
I think the TAD monitor,which is still being developed,will come in a bit lower in price than the Magico(if TAD is clever),and give it a real run for the money.I hope so,anyway!
Good luck.
