the clue by Sjofn HiFi at RMAF

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

I popped by to room to 'get a clue' and was pleasantly surprised. Very even sound. I listened to one of my audition tracks there and left with a smile. Nice job for the price ($999, I believe).

Hey Texas. It's great that you enjoyed the design and the sound. The $999 was a "show special" and it has returned to normal retail of $1500. For an official statement on the current price, anyone whom is interested should contact Lars Erickson through his address at the sjofnhifi.com website.

Cheers!
