Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 4.6/5 (#7 and #6 of 15 powered floorstanding speakers), so choose on features and fit.
What the Pitt & Giblin Superwax Mini does well: Large active two way speakers with highly accurate, natural vocals, deep bass and both digital and analog inputs. The tradeoff: The Mini gives up some deep-bass reach compared with the full Pitt & Giblin Superwax.
The case for the Pitt & Giblin Superwax: Massive active speakers with highly accurate sound, extremely deep bass and digital and analog inputs with three voicing options. The catch: The measured 2.3dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz leaves more local midrange variation than the Pitt & Giblin Superwax Mini; a level overall slope is not a perfectly flat response.
Buy the Pitt & Giblin Superwax Mini or the Pitt & Giblin Superwax on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.

Frequency Response Compared
Both speakers’ spinorama measurements, overlaid. A flatter line is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. Each curve is shifted so its average from 300 Hz to 3 kHz sits at 0 dB, so loudness differences between the two are removed and only the shape is compared.
