Frigging WOW!!!

Finally got my Mini Me's from Louis, hooked them up hastily this morning to the ClariT/modded 3960 and was delightful immersed in a new sonic bliss.I am not a verbose audiophile reviewer nor an English major so Ill keep this short and sweet.
The ClariT/Mini me combo has a certain quality which I have never heard before with certain music ie jazz,blues,acoustical- guitar,instrumental,classical,vocals...but not nescessarily rock or techno music.I think the emphasis here has been previously mentioned by others with the Clari T .The Mini mes are a equal companion in my experience so far.
Depth,clarity and a certain air of presentation.The ClariT is just that,an understatement.I have never heard the equiptment remove itself so well from certain types of music.I would have to say it would meet the desire and appetite of a listener who looks for a revelation of the music in its more true form.It has to do more with art,I would even venture to say the ClariT and Minime's are a form of art from two different symbiotic perspectives.
This equiptment are not audio toys for the mass market but a pedigree for an individual palate,for those who listen and live on a plane which is driven by experience and appreciation above the norm.Taste and believe, thats all I can say.

Powerbench,

Congratulations on what sounds to be a great combination of equipment. Louis stated on a thread in the Omega circle that he used the Clari-T to voice the Mini's with. I bet they sound sweet together.

I've received many positive comments from my Clari-T customers, but this one might just take the cake!

Thanks for posting!

I'm sure the sound will improve greatly as the drivers break in.

This stuff reproduces music, not a hyped, artificial "hifi" sound that so much of the mainstream, complex equipment provides. Its most gratifying to know that for a reasonable price one can leave Best Buys, B&W, and the rest behind. Example: my next door neighbor has a $12,000 amp/speaker combo that I wouldn't trade him for my $2,000 amp/speaker. His goes a bit higher/lower/louder, but mine makes music.

Yes, no one should expect small bookshelf speakers and a 3 pound, 6 wpc amp to do rock/etc. But you might be very surprised at what adding a powered subwoofer might do for that. Depending on the room/sub I've found that small speakers can be elevated into a whole new level when freed from low frequencies and the foundational bass is added. Power handling, clarity, and dynamics are all signicantly improved.
