for the MiniMax

I have had my my Mini Max about six months now and I am just "floored" by its qualities. Vocalists male and female both come through with such depth, resolution and poignancy at times that it is almost phenomenal!.I am tremendously happy with every aspect of this little beauty!This is not just a glimpse into high end for the "newbie' but something that makes even the well seasoned audiophile wanting to abandon all other senses and just float down the river of Audio Bliss!. My large screen tv has not hardly been on in the past few months, I'm too busy having a great time!.This is the kind of product which really makes you lose track of time!. A genuine bargain!, and a true classic in time! Bravo mr Connell!!
