Since my Fostex saga went deep South I was scratching my head wondering what  else I would like to do considering the I would like to do as less as possible. Well, talking about to do as less as possible – I like the sound of my shitty Hamster Speaker, in fact I like it so much that would be very glad if the MiniMe would sound like this.

The shitty Hamster Speaker are incredibly peaceful and I looked at them more carefully. As the result, playing with Hamster more I absolutely accidently come up with surprisingly cool result it sound very-very nice in all configurations and it is kind of insulting and shameful as it have none of the original intentions of the MiniMe’s Montour. Of cause the MineMe bass section is here but the MF section is very different and very and very absurd.

It is approximately .7 cub feet box – I can’t measure it as it is odd shape. It is two ways. The MF channel is second order low pass, with open bottom. The driver is.. I have no idea what it is. It is 4R, 5” with plastic-fabric cone and a very odd suspension. From all my judgment it this it is some kind of syntactic leather. It has resonance around 90Hz I presume. The tweeter is the driver from Grand Utopia from 90s. I used 3th order filter on it and tweeter and woofer are in phase. The enclosure has port and 5” hole where I loaded the woofer from my bass channels. The woofer is not electicly connected and acts as passive radiator. The enclosure is light and has a lot of breathing. I measured nothing in it but it sounds very-very nice. It does not go low – I presume to 70-80Hz but it goes down very]-very clean with very interesting despairing bass effect. It is very dynamic with excellent transient and ability to play truly loud and very high discrimination to what it plays.  I still would like to make some changes with calming down the tweeter and improve the tweeter mounting but I like a LOT what it turning into.

I am running the Hamster-derived Monitor with MiniMe bass channel, not even properly integrated as Hamsters do to ~90Hz and the MiniMe’s bass comes at 500Hz but even as is the sound is very respectable in direct radiation configuration.
