"The Mouse That Roared"

John, your post reminded me of my Minimus 1 speakers, and so I Googled them to find the enclosed link.

As mentioned there, I visited the Dynaco Factory in Philly in the late '60s and was impressed by a system playing in their lobby which included some attractive, tiny speakers. They were Radio Shack Minimus 1s. I bought a pair which I still have, including the original cartons. Reading the link site I can now understand why I was impressed, alnico drivers and all.

Years later I owned Minimus 7s but that was so long ago I couldn't comment on a comparison. The Minimus 1s have been boxed up and in a closet for years but somehow I just can't bring myself to get rid of them.

And yes, the Subject quote was the RS slogan for those speakers.

"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing, if you can fake that you've got it made." Groucho
