Forgive me for being so forward, but I have been holding it in for some time, and am right now, at this very moment, ripe for saying that I see this MiniMe thing as being analogous to an affair with a capricious little mistress bitch on the side. One with whom I think you are destined to become bored and frustrated. She is from another generation; you will simply offend yourself by attempting any interaction beyond the first-degree, the primal and the physical. While admiring your youthful persistence, I feel the time is right to have that wronchy one-nighter and "get her out of your System". Yes I too have something on the side; a pair of dirty-little-cheap-whore computer speakers, for which, given their humble origins, I can muster some respect. Apologies; emotions getting the best of me here! Not to be take too seriously.

There is no need to ask forgiveness – being overly forward is the only one way to communicate that makes sense for me.  I partially agree with you and in some instances I do feel disappointment with the direction where MiniMe have gone. However, I have some retinal that I sell to myself and that makes my actions semi- lucid.

You see, I have no other playbacks in my home besides Macondo. To power up Macondo I need 12 amplifiers, juts think about it. I have a habit to keep Macondo powered all time. Sometimes I keep the Macondo up from Friday afternoon to Sunday night, in many instance I leave home for a couple hours and do not turn amps down. It is hard to explain but when the amps up and Macondo is ready to play then it set some strange feel of comfort and calm in my room. You see, I listen a lot of FM, in many instances I have no idea what will be next and I like the ability of playback to be always on. It is not only music. I am a huge NPR fan and we have heard 2 stations that do NPR broadcasting. You know that feeling of “can’t get out of driveway NPR programming”? I catch it very frequently and I like to keep my playback all time up. Funny, but besides all considerations of perspective use of DHT tube for MF that might not be suitable for all-time-on-type of operation there is a consideration of electricity cost – it is actually tangible.

So, the ides to have a cheap and not demanding substitute for Macondo does not sound too pointless to me. I did bring up some alternative solution but they sounded very annoying even for listening the BBS news, I am not kidding. So, initially the MiniMe was conceived as not-annoying, all time on, alternative amp-driven speaker that will be literally all time on.

Here is where the plot got thicker. I am a bit lost balance where to stop. I thought to make MiniMe imbedded into Macondo’s frame but I realized that I might do better. At that moment I had to abandon any DIY attempts and get a commercial mini monitors. I did not. I think that was a mistake.  However, for the time and the money I have spent on the MiniMe I do not feel comfortable to "get her out of my System" not to mention that I would still need some kind of “all time on pilot system”.

So, in one way of other I will finish the MiniMe and will make it “none-annoyingly” sounding. Was it the best way to go and would I be able to make it by other means – unquestionably there are better ways.  However here is where I am and I need to get beast from the situation I found myself in.

The wonderful think about having an affair with a capricious little bitch on the side is to return back to your THE Woman and to realize how magnificent and how valuable for you your “the woman” is, if she is.  It sound strange but you would be surprise how much I learn about Macondo playing with MiniMe. It is not that I did not know the things about MiniMe – I very much know what I am doing with sound in my room, but I to my surprise realize that that to have a good quality but smallish mini-monitor with it’s mini-monitor in the Macondo’s listening environment is useful for some many perspective.

So, I would like the MiniMe to be finished and operations. I would like the MiniMe’s prose was outsourced all together from beginning but I did not go this way. My mistake but it is what it is.
