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...

Here are a number of threads at my site where the concept of “Rightsizing from extreme systems....” is pitched. I looked into the “second” systems not because I was interested in “different sound”. In fact I insist that multiple playbacks in the same...

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...

Very, good, now I a clear pictures of what I will be doing and all that I need now is to spend some time on phone with London trying to find out where I can source a dozen or so those “unique” drivers on mine…. The 70-20XR tweeter will be arriving in...

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...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] Very good. Raal 70-20XR...interesting. [/quote]
Oh, yes, the 70-20XR is very interesting. I did not have this driver but Alex allowed me to experimented with some elements of it’s design in context on my “Wa...

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...
|
|
Actually it is very possible that it might be so. I made some rudimental measurements and concluded that RAAL tweeter and JBL midrange mounted in the same baffle has non-perfect time aliment. So, I will need to use gaskets under the drivers to time-a...
|
|
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="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...
|
|
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...

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...

I got today from my machinist the complete MiniMe enclosure, he did a good job. It looks so simple but it was reportedly pain in ass to do it, not to mention that it turned out to be much more expensive then I originally expected. The good part...

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...

Ok, I did play today with the MiniMe. I have to tell that then it turn black I kind got soften with it does not look to me as large and violent as I initially thought. I made some measurement and some listening. I peaty much know what I want to be an...

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...

[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...
