Thank you thank you!
I hope I conveyed what I thought in a coherent manner.. judging by the response of 9 pages, I suppose I did.
Though I wasnt going to hold back any punches... if they sounded bad, I would've posted that too.
Joey, just returned from my sons hse after listing to the Mini's which he recently purchased and I must concur, they are really a very nice speaker !
He is powering his with an 40 watt tube integrated amp (ONIX) being fed by his "slim device" unit. Patricia Barber "Modern Cool" sounded very good ! Given the new price point of 2k the first of the year I have to say that at the intro price of $1600 they could easily be the bargain speaker of the year ! Ahhhhh........the benifits of direct marketing !
