We can get a better picture of which speaker is truly better if those contributing their favorites have heard a good number of the top speakers. Include in your response the speakers that didn't take the gold.
Perhaps not the nth degree in detail compared to the others, but otherwise extremely good and hard to fault.
Driven optimally and set up well as I heard them, they are in the same league perhaps but more like the Reds or Twins perhaps, not the Red Sox or Yankees. The Red or Twins are capable of beating the Yankees on any given day!
The Magico mini 2 is a lot of money for a limited bandwidth speaker IMO. Unless you have a very small listening room I would pass, there are others at that price point ..
YEs, the mini does not plumb the depths like many speakers in that price category. OTher than that though, they were hard to fault when I heard them (twice).
For smaller rooms or tight quarters, they are one of the best for sure, however, I suspect there are others that can compete for less.
Mapman, I may not have made myself clear- I did not find the mbls to be bright. IOW although I have heard mbl systems sound bright a number of times, under controlled circumstances I have found that it sounds bright, its not the speakers.
