I have some strange feeling about this MiniMe idea and I really hate those feelings. The entire concept of MiniMe was to have painlessly integrated with large-speakers mini-monitor with somehow “not to revolting sound”. However, as I go slowly along with this idea I more getting interests in what the sound of this ported speaker might lead into, particularly the  selection of the relatively interesting drivers. Lately I made a number of experiments with location this one of my prototypes (it uses the same bass drivers) and I concluded that if let the mini-monitor to stand-alone on the side of the upper-bass bay then I have WAY more interning results (imaging etc). Interesting the in this location it practically not intrusive in the room decor and take no space (it will be 5” wide). However, then the Pandora Box for many other bad thoughts got opened...

OK, if the MiniMe will be a stand-alone, floor-standing 43’ thin mini-monitor then the MMTTMM configuration will not work and I must to go for TMMMM configuration. The top-bottom ports will not work and I need to go for back ports. I will have no depth of the box limitation and I can go as deep as 12”, if so then the box might have a room on the side for larger LF transducer… The and-alone box might have different, more suitable for it’s location enclosure shape. The integrated box shall have Macondo Frame mounting brackets and HF deflectors. If I go do G10 then it is impossible to weld the brackets…

I can go on with many new opportunities that opened if I do not mount the MiniMe inot the Macondo frame but the the biggest question strikes me: why do I need a second good sounding speaker? Here is my interest between leaning how the speaker might sound if everything is done objectionably and how it will sound if it den with “little blood” conflicts. The two different directions requires deferent design decisions and they are not real dual useable. I have no decision at this point…
