I personally think that the legacy of Amar Bose was discovering how many "needs big box" factors could be left out and still have the products perceived at "of high quality". Bose is very popular with musicians, for all of the sonic shortcomings it s...

Yes, this Model 19's have brand new foam surround and brand new refinish grills. I know what kind rebound distortions those kind of horns create without surround foam but the miserly that they crate is much more than this. I do not know what kind cr...

I is funny how my listening attitude is working. While my midbass horn is not built I do not listen music on my main system. I listen in via my MiniMe (Dunlavy 3) or in my headphones at work. At my home system I do not listen but rather think how it ...

Well, the only thing I can think of is to seal them and keep 'em that way. I've made only a couple of vented enclosures and they have all ended up being sealed or severely aperiodic. Even if the Mini's are moved back, it is unlikely that they would...

The greatest thing that happened to my Yamaha B2 amp was the fact that I got rid of my MiniMe ported bass section. The MiniMe is truly nice now and I operate in the highly desirable not annoying status. That all made me to pay more attention to w...

Okay, here's a graph that shows theoretically what will happen when the volume is doubled and a few other circumstances. It should give you an idea of what's going on. It is important to note that when the Vb is doubled, th...

Surprise, surprise it is from Pass Labs and the model name RS1. I have no other comments besides the visual appearance of the RS1 loudspeaker and I find the RS1 being remarkably elegant, functional and beautiful. I was thinking something simila...

OK, I disconnected my MiniMe speakers and left only Macondo to care sound in the room. I was listing for the last week Macondo. There is no bass, just upperbass horn at the bottom and The Injection channel a full range. It is OK sound but truly nothi...

It is a mid of April and the weather is turning to be beautiful. The house of ours is kind of outdoorsy facility and we spent a LOT of time on the deck during worm mouths. We have huge deck that covers all 3 sides of house and we have a very cool dec...

OK, I have desired to build the thing. It is not the I really need it but I would need some kind MiniMe monitor and I really would like to see how bad it will turn out to sound the speaker that I invasion with this drivers of mine. After much vague c...

James, why shall I hit you? The Lowthers do fine MF drivers if not to stress them into full range. I actually thought about Lowther but what I was looking at them I did not see any interesting 5” contestants. The new DX65 is 6.5-7 drivers and t...

The more I play with me room the more I fell in love with it. As I mentioned before there are so many truly perfect features in the room that I very frequently note that if I build the listening room from scratch according to my own design then very...

Stopped by last night I saw my mechanist and consulted with him about the section of available material for my MiniMe project. He showed me different grades of steel, aluminum and industrial plastics, gave estimates, positive and negative moments of ...

Sure I was not able to do not listen it as the pain dried. It was incredible ad-hog sting of the drivers. All woofers are series. I know, I know but they are 4R each and I wanted to drive it with 2A3 just for the first test. The post is tuned - I hav...

As anybody else’s my listening habits are subjects of infatuations. Sometimes I develop some unhealthy interest to some music and being a compulsive Cat I begin to suck it in at full throttle. My last infatuation was the Beethoven last movement o...

This Sunday is was devastating. It was 85F in my town with 1000000% humidity. I did not sleep the whole high before and felt not god. The center air-conditioned in my house did not work as I expected and since I tolerate heat very badly I felt li...

[quote user="Paul S"]Probably not news, but: http://www.supravox.fr/anglais/haut_parleurs/135_LB.htm Another one that at least looks the part.[/quote] Thanks, Paul. This Supravox 135 LB indeed looks like an interring driver for a project of mine. I h...

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...

Marchand doe crossovers not EQ and his crossovers are not so good sonically BTW, but I do not like even the idea of active crossovers anyhow. It is obvious that 2105/LE5 is not so simple driver to begin with but searching for “straighter” driver is e...

I was thinking and thing about it and eventually the amount of garbage thrown around my room was overwhelming and the only solution was to put all that garbage in trash or into some kind enclosure. Well, I decided the later and the MiniMe project is ...

I am not so impressed bout BD Design speakers. I truly hated the BMS drivers that they use and I truly hate the network of the blabbering cretins that BD Design built around itself. Any single critical mentioning of BD Design lead to a sudden sho...

I wrote about it before and I was/am afraid this effect too. I discovered it a few years back when suddenly my bass picked some odd harmonics. After a few days I realized that the harmonics came from an acoustic guitar that was sitting in my list...

[quote user="Paul S"] I really would not know where to start with most of the crap out there, since most commercial SS sounds like it makes "music" by inhaling it. But I've heard "acceptable" units from those listed, albeit in some poor environ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy,
I find the Veravox 5 drivers are strong contenders when searching for elevated sensitivity 5" drivers. I heard the Veravox 5X in combination with Shindo SET electronics and found it very natural-sounding. Both 5ers have cer...

There are some wire frame panels with styrofoam in the center than could be used, this panels are cut to size to make any shape you want,
and then they are covered with cement, they are...

[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![/quo...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, what exactly was bad, and how?Honestly, my knowlwedge and objectives were in infancy back then. Also, it's been so long that my "memory" is probably crowded with parasitic ideas passing themselves off as memories. But I r...

Well, the license of think this way was given to me by one mini-monitor that I found to sound “promising” for the objectives that I would like to achieve. In fact not even the monitor itself but the bass driver, the drive that in a way was unique cha...

For the sake of helpfullness, I think that we may separate the differences of the ported speaker designs of myself and Petar. What I have described is the standard, pedistrian model of a vented speaker. Petar's is a hybrid aperiodic-...

I did put some gasketing under the driver, not thought but to so what it will do. I used the substance that I described above. It is Home Depot 3207680110 or the model #DS110 Pug duct seal by GB Electrical. The best thing about it that it is that pla...
