Got a Hi-Fi Mini System. It was one of those Mini System that is conceded “great”, including by some of my “trusted” friends. Well, the “great” Mini System turned out to be quite crappy sounding, even for those $250. Was trying to run with the Mini S...

When I meet Jonathan Valin I laugh. Jonathan is soft-spoken, kind-mannered person who does not have that revolting attitude of a typical audio reviewer. Most of audio reviewers that I met behaved like idiots, claiming: “the entire wo...

Since I have no Macondo for 2-3 weeks (completely disassembled in expectation of my new frame – had to be ready two weeks back) I was playing music on that “celebrated” Demon M31. I ma telling you that I’m not use to have this type experience for yea...

A few years ago a friend of mine, an audio manufacturer in Europe, in response to my Macondo Mini-Me project told me that my Macondo Mini-Me speakers were crap but the name I come up with for my Pilot acoustic system was ingenious. Well, he was n...

This post has basically wiped out the entire reputation you have tried to build up in the past. Rebutting a review does not make yours right, and from my personal experiences, you are indeed far from right. I can see why some people will not agree wi...

I’m involved now in a VERY interesting project that leads me to ask a strange question: did anyone ever research the subject of those Hi-Fi Mini Systems? What I need is a small source of FM and CD in a one small “comfy” box. I do not need that CD to ...

ScanSpeak's 4.5" mid looks nice, but it's still 89dB http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=148&products_id=917 Eton's 4" Symphony looks real nice, but it's only 88dBhttp://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info....

artistic setup. The beautiful ...

I was cocking pelmeni this weekend. Pelmeni is Russian meal, slightly reminding Chinese steam dumplings but boiled with different dough, and much smaller. So it was perhabs 20-30 of those miniature Pelmeni dumplings…. While I was making them (of cau...

While Dima is cooking the Super Zarathustra I figure out that I would need some test speaker to be able to observe the preliminary results. I would not be able to drive the multi-channel Macondo with a single full range amplifier, so I need something...

I looked what is around and I did not like whatever I see. The industry music server machines are all crap and mostly made to copy CDs and to play them from semi-intelligent applications. My requirements are very specific and not of the existing mac...

I do not subscribe audio publication but sometimes when my level of venomous hate goes down to dangerously low level I buy one at newsstand. The last night I saw October TAS magazine in Borders with a big picture of Magico speaker on the cover I ...

This past weekend I was able to have an extended listen to the revised Melchiades amplifers. My previous listening session left something to be desired with midbass punch and dynamics. Had I not have heard mini me it may not have been noticeable. ...

This might sound weird but I have a mini usb speaker attached to my
laptop and they radically sound good ......

For people with less knowledge of Horns and wants to use them in smaller real estate is there any chance of a speaker/horn of this type sounding good compared to a conventional monitor system/miniME type of speaker http://www.oswaldsmillaudio.com/Pro...

I have been looking forward to build my own dedicated passively cooled, Windows based source, with external power supplies and SSD drive, based on an HFX Classic case, or even better, the HFX Mini Metal, sometime towards the summer of next year. See ...

L'Chaim to the Mini-you! Taking 3 years where others only need 9 months is being thorough for sure!...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

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 ...

I would like to share some ides what I would like to do in my monitor project. This are just intention and I did not try to put it all together. Probably I will do it with the next few weeks.
I’m planning to use the Celestion SL-600 enclosure ...

[quote user="montepilot"] 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 |
