AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
Linkster: I still have the Diabolos for home audition. Just started listening to the Kharmas and I must say: the by far most detailed and coherent speaker I´ve ever listend to. Exceptionel well imagers a huge and deep soundstage and a remarkably h... 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
Having had the Diabolos around now for a few hours at home I must say that this speaker is a remarkable product. Nevertheless the Indras do exceed the Diabolos in several to me important areas (transparency, soundstageing, imaging, micro and macro...

Don´t know the retail price in USA. In Germany its - including stands close to € 10.000,00 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
@ all: heard the Diabolo Utopias today - unfortunately not in my own set up. But paired with Pass INT-150 and Wadia 581 SE was quite impressive. A huge step up from previous Focals.Will take them at home to compare them with my Avalons end of this... 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
Bvdiman: I have the feeling that at louder listening levels the bass is to much for my room - that´s why I mainly look for smaller alternatives. Heard the Avalon mixing monito a while ago and was quite impresed but didn´t like the black only pro f...

Roypan: as we both know: there is no "best speaker on earth" although I know from various manufacturer homepages they claim :) but if so I would have other makes on my mind (German Physics e.g.). The guy who borrowed the V 3 drives them with FM Ac...

Bvdiman: I´m living in Germany. Stuff over here is much more expensive. I´ve just converted the Euro in US $ prices. The V 3 in Germany is around 30k Euros.

@ linkster: please read my comment carefully. I stated that I dindn´t like the Utopia series II models. I haven´t heard the series III line.@ Roypan: my fault. V 3 (three way, four driver) not V 2 (two way (three driver). Retail for the Magico car... 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
@ Roypan: you will agree, that the Indras have more weight and punch than the Mini II´s - so how would you call the lower region of a mini monitor like the Mini II´s compared to a full range speaker like the Indras. The mid band and the high frequ... 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
@ BVdiman: I´ve had the chance to do an AB comparison Magico V 2 vs. my Indras. Well I found the Indras had more weight, resolution and sounstage depth than the V2´s (probably due to the ceramique transducers). Unfortunately I still can´t comment ... 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
@ Linkster: I´ve listened to several Utopia series speakers and never found the attracting (to much hifi). But I´ve heard that the new series is much better, than the previous ones.@ Bvdiman: the 1060 delivers 300 watts into 8 ohms and 700 watts i...

Arthur. All the details are provided on the Boulder web.site with pics of the devices (front and back image).rgds., frank 
Has Anyone heard The Boulder 1021 CD player?
Arthur: best in every way (detail retrieval, baseline (punch and control), transparency, pin point imaging and soundstageing). As a long time audiophile I would not have spent crazy money on a cd-only player wouldn´t it be THAT good. 
Has Anyone heard The Boulder 1021 CD player?
Hey folks to put the vague discussion to an end. I use 1021 going directly into 1060. I´ve compared in the last weeks extensively top notch CD-players with built in pre (Wadia 781i, DCS Puccini, Accuphase DP-700, Nagra CDP, Levinson No.51) and I c...
