In Reply to: New uses for old audio equipment ! posted by Ross on February 24, 2007 at 09:05:24:
The minimus 7's and thier slightly larger brother were both made for RatShack by Foster - the parent company to Fostex.The tweeter is a goody, and you'll find premium parts on the crossover. The 'bass-mid' is actually a fullrange driver, and sounds good by itself.
The bass issue is due to the enclosures being sealed box - great for subjective bass quality, but roll off starts at much higher level, so there is reduced output at lower frequencies.
Subjectively the cabinets could do with damping using a proprietory compound (brown-bread is good, roof flashing also works well, dynamat could also to the trick). The recess on the front will also be playing havoc with the subjective sound quality - easily fixed by a layer (or three) of felt around the tweeter.
Finally they will improve again, if you mount them on some 'spikes' (acorn nuts work well on a desk-top).
Have fun!
