Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?

If you're looking at minuets, there are three models floating around. The latest are the Minuet Supreme Plus. The models before that were the Minuet Supreme and the then there is the first model, the plain old Minuet.

They are all ~9" tall and 5" wide. The original came wrapped in a vinyl veneer. The Supreme has a wood veneer. The original and Supreme are ~7" deep. The Plus added almost another 2" to the depth, making them go a bit deeper.

There were a couple of other adjustments. Listening to them side by side, you can tell minute differences.

I sent you a message.

Alright B_limo,
The "low bass?" confused me.
For less bass, you are all set with the amp/pre-amp/source.
Just get any pair of speaker between 82-88 db sensitivity and you should achieve the goal you are looking for.

If you like your speakers, what you should be considering is some sort of highpass filter, or electronics with tone controls, to reduce the really low bass output.

As far as speaker choices, you should not necessarily be looking for speakers with restricted bass, but rather, you should be focussing on finding a speaker that sounds good to you at low volume. Some candidates include: The smallest Spendor monitor (preferably an older model), Proac tablette and the small Totem speakers. If you have room to place them correctly, the Magneplanar MMGs would be great for your purposes (dipole speakers, such as the Maggies and electrostatics do a better job of concentrating the sound in the listening area and reducing the amount of sound that bleeds into other rooms and are great for apartments, provided you have enough room).

I tend to like a number of high efficiency speaker systems (horn drivers and single drivers) for this purpose too, because these types of systems deliver a very lively midrange that is great for low volume listening. However, most decent systems of these types are WAY beyond your specified price range. If you or a friend have any DIY skills, a full range system built around the full range Tang Band driver would be pretty nice.

Larry makes an interesting point. If you have speakers that you like, why not just add a crossover. I was just looking into the model offered by Hsu.

I'm guessing that maybe the 50hz high pass module would do it.

Thanks Larry! I agree with what you said and maybe I should revisit the maggie idea as Elizabeth had another good point about them not putting out the kind of bass that really travels through walls so much.

I guess I could also check into a pair of crossovers; necer thought about that...
I did try plugging my ports but that didn't work so well.

I guess I could think about a pair of speakers that would just sound really good at low volumes.

I'm just confused at the moment about whats going to work best.

Hey, Tony, thanks for the input on the different silverlines! I appreciate the info. I'll check for your pm. Thanks!
