I was listening last night the HF section of MiniMe. It was interesting and frankly very promising. The RAAL 70-20XR were fine and he JBL5 did splendid. They are not properly integrated, were not measured and were made up to work together well, it was juts ad-hock play but it was still very demonstrable that I will have absolutely no problem with HF section of MiniMe.  The enclose tune out to be also very good.

The RAAL 70-20XR crossover is exactly as it depicted here:

 The coils I use the air- core litz and the C1 cap is an assembly of 3 Vitamin Qs. However I wonder about the C2 cap for MF driver. It will be +- 5uF around 30uF, so what people use nowadays. I personally have no problem to do for electrolytic, perhaps with so beloved by me active biasing but I wonder if anything else exists out there worth to pay attention.  I do not like metalized film caps. The film and foils would do for me but 30uF is kind of hard to get in manageable size…

The LF filters, as well as the LF whole section will be more pain in ass to deal with. I drown all drivers in series juts for sake of simplicity but it will be different I am sure as I will be going into it.
