When I have more time I will post my impressions of the mini me system that sits side by side with Macondo.  For now I will say that with all Macondo's virtues, mini me may be the David that slays the giant goliath!

Does MiniMe’s HF have “something” that I would like Macondo to learn? I would say that yes, to a degree, and for a last two weeks I slowly looking into it.

This is about the Focal Utopia TN51 tweeter.... in fact there is something insanely beautiful in this tweeter and from a certain perspective (narrow-certain) I like it even more then the HF of my Macondo.

So, I went for 3rd order and it was immediately clear that it was very right direction to go. The standard “sit down” test made Water Drop and S2 to sound absolutely undistinguishable – very very impressive!

If you follow my thread about the latest Water Drop modification then you might be assures that did something VERY interesting with Macondo HF that now in a way partially mimic what the MiniMe tweeters did. Thai effect of sudden “opening” (I am sure that it was what you were attracted) what was when you switch sound from Macondo to Mini Me is not there anymore.  Now the Macondo Water Drop has the right amount of “punch” only it does it VERY clean, very “smartly” and without all MiniMe’s coloration. I can’t explain what “the smartly” is, if you hear it then you will know…
