Mini Monitors Black (Best Offer)

Motzart

Yes I said best offer!

I have had these for many years and used em for surrounds.
They have been threw 2 moves and have a few small dings of black missing.
Being Black any small dings can be covered easy nuff. Grills are fine.
You get em AS IS cuz they are pretty old (at least 20yrs)

Specs as I know em:
- 12mm (0.5") dome tweeter.
- 133mm (5.25") composite polymer driver
- 10.5"H x 6.5"W x 7"D
- Overall Frequency Response = 42Hz - 25kHz
- -3dB limits = 67Hz - 23kHz
- Recommended Amplification = 10-100 watts/channel
- Impedance = 8 ohms
- Efficiency = 90dB
- Shipping weight = 15 lbs/pair


Probably be nice for a older 2 channel rig or in your work shop?

Anyway.....you want em make me a reasonable offer.....please include shipping cost...probably at least $15.

I take Paypal with no extra charge.
This only open to you Guys in the CONUS!

Small black dings missing are along the edges and corners....nothing huge.
Easy touch up and you'd never notice em.

I will start the bidding at $1.

P.S. Rearead the forum rules on the F/S section. You seem to mean well so here is the excerpt taken from them "List a price you wish to sell the item (include shipping costs). All members asking for secret bids (like ebay) will have their items removed."

Rubber(not THAT old LOL) never been redone since I had em.
They have never been used as mains my last unit was 120watts per...so I never wanted to over push em.
They made nice surrounds for my old Mon 10's I had.

Reason they are AS IS cuz they have never had real power push to em.
Dunno how that rubber gets with age?

$60 shipped OR BEST OFFER.

Those are great little speakers! I have two pairs still (my first Polks). I used them for a while for home theater with a CS245i and all I can say is that the match was made in heaven IMO. I have great admiriation for them considering how well they worked for me and how modest they might seem. For HT especially, they are excellent IMO, and compared extremely well with my RT35 when I did some test listening, despite the difference in size and apparent difference in specifications! I've seen them sell on eBay for anything up to $100, before shipping.

For power, I have used them with Yamaha (2 channel) and harman/kardon (5.1). I much prefered the h/k (the Yamaha was a bit bright, or not enough depth, or something of that nature). Make no mistake: with the h/k and the CS245i in 5.1 configuration, I got buckets of good sound from these little guys!

They are not quite 20 years old, though, since the New Mini Monitors were only manufactured from 1993 to 1996.

I have never managed to convince myself to sell mine, even if they are boxed up in the garage all this time! Good luck with the sale!

Ok that's about right (I think these are the old Mini's tho?)...I got em when they 1st came out few years before I got my CS150.

That's probably what I'll wind up doing with mine.
I've had em this long maybe it's a omen? :rolleyes:

Nope, those look like the New Mini Mons. to me. The old ones were quite different in appearance AFIK.

Ok I'll take your word for it. :rolleyes:
They always looked older than my Mon 10's I had at the time.

Very similar to R10's except yours use a cheaper tweeter. I don't think they are Mini-Monitors.

Yes, these are definitely sold. Like 4 months ago...lol

I've got one of them pulling center channel duty at the moment actually.

I don't know why this thread came back, but it reminded me. I have a pair of these that I could sell if anyone's looking to round out a set. I have the original product sheet that came with them too. Mine are in great shape, but I can snap some pics if anyone's interested.

They're really nice little speaks. A lively tweeter that works great in a sub sat setup. Every time I tried out one of the polk satellite setups, I always sent them packing because these mini-mons just sounded so much better.

If anyone wants 'em, I'm all ears.
