I guess what I can't understand is....

IMO, the Gold is equal to or better than the Mini in virtually every way. My complaints about the Mini vs the Gold is - not as detailed, overly thick in the mid bass, mid/upper bass not detailed, typical "ported midrange" sound. I always felt the NHT 1.5s, though not as "musical", were far more precise. The Golds, on the other hand, were smooth, fun, dynamic and fixed the 50-250Hz range while adding a full octave of response. Certainly not perfect speakers, and maybe I'm romanticizing them a bit, but for R&R, they're great. What makes them great for R&R is that the midrange is forgiving and warmish, but the treble is detailed and vibrant while the bass just gives you that fun thump. Think of them with respect to classical or jazz or acoustic music and how transparent they are/aren't and they drop quite a bit. They're my ideal, cost no object garage speaker :-)
