The Mimi possesses a sound which belies its relatively compact form, they have a weight and fullness about their presentation which wouldn’t be unusual for a more substantial floor-stander.

For the majority of music types the Mimi won’t leave you wanting for more in terms of the lower registers, they are a perfect fit for the typical UK living room, for those with larger rooms the Thais and Stella will have relevance but the Mimi sounds nothing like you would expect based on its size.  They have a real sweetness and allure about the way they present the music and they have possess a wonderful sense of poise and composure. Dynamics, detail and musical insight are all present in abundance, but at the same time the Mimi are so natural and organic in the way they portray themselves, extended highs are silky smooth, with no hint of aggression or fatigue at all.

They project brilliantly into the demonstration room and they paint a spacious sonic landscape that is as deep as it is wide, 3d openness and holographics are first rate and they have many traits that remind me of Avalon in this regard. No particular frequency is pushed upon you or over-emphasised, the treble will never fatigues or pins you to the listening chair, but the Mimi never leaves you wanting more, they are beautifully balanced and composed, as a result prolonged listening sessions are never an issue which seems to be an unattainable holy grail for many.
