Minuet S5 Developing a speaker to compete with other mini-monitors at a reasonable price point is no easy task. It takes blending science and technology with an eye for artistic innovation, so that the end goal can be achieved. With this speaker, we set out to create a speaker that is very intimate sounding, images well, doesn't take up a lot of room, and remains affordable. We did not want to skimp on the cabinet construction, crossover, veneer, and finish. Pictured to the right, we think the results speak for themselves.
The entire speaker is made of 1" thick MDF material and the cabinet edges are all mitered, so there is no way that any seams will show years down the road. The speaker box also required vertical bracing to get the rigidity that we desired, and have a box with very low coloration. The braces are all dadoed for the best solid joints.
The drivers are flush mounted level to the front baffle to eliminate edge diffraction, the driver openings have chamfered flares at the backside of the opening to eliminate early reflections inside the box, which is a detail often left out in the competition. The speakers are fully veneered, as we feel it just looks better than a flat black front baffle. This adds to the cost, but also to the beauty of the speaker. But that's not all, these speakers also feature high quality wire, drivers, crossovers, binding posts, and dampening materials. We use Clarity Caps, air core inductors, Mundorf resistors and Supra wire for a pure signal path.
