BTW, it will be funny if I learn that I like the Macondo’s bass better with the “help” of the MiniMe’s ports. The 95Hz is VERY special region for Macondo as the Macondo’s upperbass horn and the Macondo’s bass sections both are dying in there….

I will be laughing my ass off when I visit the GoodSoundClub website and read about a certain Cat who was finally motivated into tuning the ports on the Mini's specifically to "adjust" Macondo's sound!  I am reminded of Buckminster Fuller's chosen nickname "trimtab"...the tiny rudder on the rudder of the Queen Mary, for instance.  The trimtab creates a low presure that swings the huge rudder that steers the entire ship.  Could Mini's port be Macondo's trimtab?  I love the analogy even if it is BS.

With all of the issues with intigrating an 8 foot array of 6 (and then 7) channels, it is no wonder that the many audiophiles indulge in delusions and confuse them with solutions...assuming they have the awareness (and the jump to 'understanding' is quite a journey from that point as well).  I can easily visualize (auralize?) how a midbass horn could solve some problems while creating plenty of their own.
