1. Black metal Minimus 7.
The long R in realistic logo is not long.
I mean that long part is broken off.
Works great and sounds good.
These are the older ones with flat head screw terminals.
Will take pictures tonight.
$45 shipped PP gift or USPS MO.
**********************************************
2. Silver metal Minimus-12.
These are much bigger than 7's and probably largest minimus.
Here is the issue.
They sounded very nice until I tested low frequency tones with Pioneer SX-880.
Both tweeters are perfectly fine.
They still work but I hear something vibrating/rattling on both woofers when volume is any louder than very low levels.
I think voice coil has come unglued or something separated inside but surrounds/dust caps look fine from outside.
So either fixable, or woofers need replacement.
$20 + shipping PP gift or USPS MO.

Minimus 7 pictures below.
The Realistic logo is little bit messed up; otherwise in good condition.

I have a pair of the metal Minimus 7s; and one made a buzzing sound when the bass was turned up. On visual inspection it "seemed" as if the rubber surrounds were fine and attached to the baffle. But when I decided to just watch them without their grills on with the bass up a bit, I noticed that part of the surround on that speaker was "detached" from the baffle and was slapping it which was responsible for the noise. So an hour later and a little "glue" and no more distortion!
Don't know if that's at play here but it's simple to find, just pull gently on the surround working across its circumference and you may find a point at which it "gives", where it is not attached--the glue has failed, melted, whatever.
Your situation may not be this. But I was really surprised that my problem was this "simple"!
GLWTS! I have a couple of pairs of these (metal and wood versions).
