Just received the minis in Cherry. Right out of the box here are my impressions. Holy SH##!!!!! The minis sound fantastic, amazing, astonishing, out of this world!

The bass is so deep and authoritative and just blooms into perfection.The mids when listening to Diana Krall are liquid smooth, her voice sounds like butter. The highs, sax trumpet sound perfect,no hint of glare,just powerful and blissful. The detail in the music that the minis bring out is amazing, but they are still very, very musical and totally disappear, which is ashame as they are a work of art!!!!

I have read that there is no perfect speaker as there are always trade offs and compromises, but to my ears the minis are perfect speakers!!

I am thrilled with there performance!! I trusted you guys with your reviews , and I thank all of you for leading me to to this purchase. All of my expectations were much exceded. I will enjoy these speakers for life, and can not see ever buying another set of speakers.
I am listening nearfield in my office for now,with the 250 watt Musical Fidelity A5, oppo cd, analysis plus speaker cable and Rat shack interconnect for now. Thanks also to Bob for taking the time and care to answer all of my questions.
Anyone near Pittsurgh Pa. please feel free to stop by for a listen. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, Todd
