Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    I am watching these closely, they would make an excellent addition to my system. I would use them as back surrounds in my 7.1. Currently 7b's as main left and right, my center made up of 2mw6503's and peerless, and m4's as side surround, those would fit right in as back surround.

    Well they are worth whatever people will pay for them....

    Mini-monitors are very nice. I wouldn't sell mine for $194.

    I'll admit to being surprised too... I had the auction watched.

    Like I said, I wouldn't take $194 for my mini's, and they aren't in near that condition. Would I pay $194 if I no longer had them? I'm not too sure - I'd need to have a specific use I guess.

    My mini's are in the kitchen on top of the cabinets, driven by a Pioneer SX-450. I use a iPod dock connector to RCA adapter for playing my iPod and I love the sound I get.

    What was the difference between those and the other "minis" you see with the odd "corner" shaped box? Same speakers different cabinet?

    I've only seen the "others" mentioned here, and have not listened to them. I wonder if they have the sl2000 tweeter.

    The others had the peerless too. Looked like the same drivers and veneer, just a corner style encloser.
