Easier To Ask Than To Read Eh!
For $125.00 the Mini^3:-0I'm just hoping Rockhopper can keep up with Miguel's recommendations

Killer review asr. Very detailed and helpful. Just a little confused though. You said you would recommend the Gilmore lite v2 over the ae2 for the ad2000 right?

That's right, I do recommend the Gilmore Lite over the AE-2 for the AD2000. The AE-2 is a fine amp for the AD2000 on its own but if you don't need a portable amp, the Gilmore Lite is much better.

Really interesting review ! Thank you. I wonder which one between the Mini3 and the Hornet would be a better "all arounder" though... (sorry for the junior headfier question but I am actually going to purchase one of them for sure... ;-) )

I preferred the Mini3 over the Hornet M side-by-side.
