Ok, I think it is it. I close the experimental phase of the MiniMe projects as I have selected and feel comfortable with MiniMe results. The MiniMe Bass section is the very original MiniMe enclosure with the very same drivers as I plane from star...

Playing with B-2 power amp I made an experiment and instead of loading to it the MiniMe Bass section I loaded the B-2 with Macondo’s bass arrays. I made add-hog attenuator and coil to EQ MiniMe MF with Macondo’s bass and gave some listening. It w...

I would like to pass some observations about my MiniMe progress. At this point it is obvious that the MiniMe project will be a success, even despite the pain of the ass with multi-amping and some other setbacks. The MiniMe will turn out to be a good ...

Thinking about the MiniMe this point I already know that I made a mistake with the MiniMe design.
The MiniMe might turn out to be an OK speaker but when I was thing about its dimension and the way how it will be used with Macondo I was thinking abo...

Ok, I have 200 posts in this thread. I was stated over a year back. Thanks for anyone consulted me and observed where my Pilot Acoustic Systems took me. At this point, when the MiniMe result has settled to my satisfaction and when I am not going...

I intentionally do not play MiniMe for visitors but not because I not willing to divulge the Doliath’s David status. I know what attracted you in MiniMe and I do agree that for whatever it is the MiniMe an interesting speaker. Well I like it and...

Thanks, unicon, I know nothing about the Wharfedale and I do not really looking for monitors anymore. In fact my monitor quest ended up to be catastrophe and if I know then what I know now I would not do it and would just buy off a pair of vintage ac...

Very good. Raal 70-20XR...interesting. Where are you planning to cross these over?I remember the discussion about the internal balloon. That is a very good idea and this may be the perfect opportunity to try it. It will also b...

It will not be 1” of wood but a few mm of something very strong- steel, aluminum or architecture plastic

If you have an industrial plastics company close, you might look into a material called G10. Its avai...

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 am quite fascinated with the result that I might get from MiniME and at the same time I am defensive with the direction it takes. Anyhow, here is how it stands…
The decision to go for MF driver was I think right one. Even the 70-20RX tweeter has s...

MiniMe is growing up...It is a shame that you will not be able to utilize the ringy dustcap that the origional drivers have, but the JBL LE5-2 driver is quite nice and should not bring many surprises.
I found something today that you might find usef...

It may be good, though i've worried about SS since Tymphany took over. I have seen many good companies with good products completely screwed by new management. Their re-packageing of Peerless into V-Line (or whatever the hell that was) sp...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I feel a driver needs to be somewhat hard-mounted to the enclosure. Cork gives the right sort of balance between hard-mounting and floating, while still sealing, however it would be a pain to cut that many gaskets from cor...

Actually it turned out that LE5-2/2105 are much more complicated driver and to sound right it need way more complex crossover then juts a band-pass the I initially unused. I spend some time with it today but did not find a configuration the I feel co...

[quote user="serenechaos"]Did you use LEAP or anything like that, or just cross everything over 1st order as a guess, and tune by ear? [/quote]
Oh, no. I do not use any LEAPs or others tools, no time domain analyses or anything like this – the...

In MiniMe, after study all recommendations and talking with a number of port speaker manufactures I decided to go a simplest route. It will be one single port at the bottom. What pervaded me was the Precision Port Company. Then make 2” port with 4” a...

As much as the concept of MiniMe I find is supremely useful as much it was unlucky in my implementation. I went over a number of monitors, then built my own versions of MiniMe, then in the new room I used Danlavy SCIII. Some of them were good but it ...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] … I am going to revise my "Mini" speakers for a second system (different location) and I have not decided how serious they should be. [/quote] From one point I would like it to be better, not because it need to be but beca...

The last nigh I stopped by in the shop of my machinist. He did not finish the MiniMe as he is keep experimenting with better glue to assemble the MiniMe enclosure. All sides are prefabricated and are ready to glue, BTW, the G10 material turned out to...

Running MiniMe in bi-amping, even though I get better result by simplistic means, I realized that it is hardly how I would like to end this project. Ideally the whole MiniMe shell be driven by one good SS amp running in A/B. If someone know any small...

Ok, I have both channels up and running and it looks like it is almost it. It left only re-measure everything , properly calibrate and tune up the port. So, how is it?
The project is success, it sound very pleasant and not anion for non-critical lig...

While the left channel of Macondo is out full-time service (while I am redoing my left Milq’s MF channel) I have been listening MiniMe for weeks. The MiniMe is in the stage how I let if a couple month back: I did not fine-tune the port and used in cr...

The MiniMe, as much as the rest of my playback have lost the “novelty”. I do not do or planning to do anything with audio. I have found the way to calm down my Focal tweeters and it… will die this way. For what MiniMe meant to be it does very goo...

Thanks, scooter.
I do not know Vince from Watertown. As long he does not work for Goodwins’ from Watertown I might be able to talk with him…. After some consideration I picked today Yamaha B-2 amp. It is V-FET from 1978, it might be interestin...
