the clue by Sjofn HiFi at RMAF

I pretty much hit all the mini-monitors. I was impressed with several of them. I actually did sit and listen to the clues for several songs. They sounded quite good. I'm always happy to see a design that can be used against a wall as that is necessary for some people. I didnt actually listen with my own music so I couldnt establish a base line that way. I would love to audition them in my own room just to see how they stack up. Inexpensive good sounding hardware is always a welcome sight.

They did sound good for their size and a real value,though the booz did help tune the ears. In general, most of the rooms with bookshelf monitors and mini's had a better overall sound(minus some the lower octive)to me than most of the floor standers. Probably the room size/acoustics was the major factor for the difference. My vote for bookshelf design goes to the Joseph Audio Pulsar's although not mini's.

Can someone list the specs on the speaker?

Thanks,

Gregg

86.5dB; 28-32hz (room dependent) up to 32khz (or higher I believe); 103dB SPL; not dropping below 4.2 Ohm

I can't remember the cabinet dimensions off the top of my head, but they were about 14" high x 12" deep x 10" wide. The speakers were simply placed atop normal, no-frills speakers stands with fairly inexpensive damping feet under the cabinets. Spikes also would have been fine. Funny enough, because the carpet was so smooshy in the hotel room, we had to run out to Lowes to get some thin fiberboard to stabilize the stands. So, no effort was made to especially damp them from the floor. The cabinets are extremely inert.

All those numbers are from memory from the weekend and I believe they are accurate. For a more complete discussion of "the clue", you can contact Lars Erickson at Lars@sjofnhifi.com
