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...

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 ...

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...

This is kind of strange but never played MiniMe loud. If I want the concert style play from audio I usually use Macondo. The MiniMe usually plays at the level of 60-80dB but today I have fun to listen something and I cranked it up. To my surprise Min...

I was strategizing how will be putting my audio crap in my new listening room. The room is being remodeled now and here is an interesting subject. The room has 4 wall-installed loudspeakers mounted on the cathedral ceiling.
They...

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...

I went for a better amp for MiniMe because it’s summer, hot and I am listening MiniMe more than Macondo.
But!
As I said before the MiniMe post talks with Macondo (when I turn Macondo on) and it forces me to plug the MiniMe port with a pile...

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...

Got last night the last bass drivers for MiniMe’s bass sections and put them all together. Even thought I still have problems with MiniMe uppers channels (the Fostex F120A drivers are still hatching) but the bass sections turned out to be very good. ...
|
|
Since my Fostex saga went deep South I was scratching my head wondering what else I would like to do considering the I would like to do as less as possible. Well, talking about to do as less as possible – I like the sound of my shitty Hamster S...

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...

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...
|
|
Ok, I have found a “perfect” configuration for MF driver for my MiniMe: it is linear. I am sure that Silbatone folks and Trojan Condoms will sue me for copyright infringement but I think I will survive. It is sad that such a good dive is such a stupi...

I did not have a lot of time to ply with my new DEQ options. From what I have seen it turned out to much worst then I remember it. This think make soul-dead sound and I do not think that it shell be used for any purpose. I still have some thoug...
|
|
Well, the points you bring up are valid but as anything else it all highlight problems with people not with equipment. I am not sure that I am glad with my decisiveness and sanity in MiniMe projects. I was trying to rationalize the MiniMe idea in the...

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...
|
|
Jeeze, I just mention G10 and every machinist out there wants my head delivered to them on a silver platter! Diamond tooling does help but I'll have to ask the guys I know with waterjet cutters if they have had any problems with it. ...

[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...
