A big up for a great little British product .....Minirig.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul123/paul123/002.JPG
Arrived yesterday. It's basically a minimilist speaker for use with either a laptop, phone, ipod or ipad. http://minirigs.co.uk/ Not cheap at £86, but it sounds great. It's also great to be able to support a UK company. |
Looks awesome, and I'm all for supporting UK industry, but aren't they gonna face tough competition from other speakers like the x-mini 2 (the pop up portable speaker that retails at £18)
|
At £172 per pair, they are dearer than some quite good stereo speakers:(
And what's with selling "A speaker"? Has stereo gone out of fashion? Another poorly thought out British product....... |

They look a bit bigger than the x-mini but once you add a few mini's together they sound great. Its only when they are on their own they are bland.

They are not designed for stereo use, you are missing the point. A Minirig plus a phone makes a small, highly portable music system.

Two friends have these, I baulked at the price, but they sound great.
|
Looks neat, presumably the selling point is portability..??
It's the kind of value for money / price point I imagine an apple fan would suck up big time. |

No, it doesn't, it will sound like the old transistor radios of the 60's. A step backwards.

your right of course, we need a return to proper portable music technology
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...48539246_n.jpg word to your mother I sell pro audio, our company was approached by minirig, and similar companies. We gave them a miss... Its portable, but sound quality and portable do not tend to go together. Also, sound sources such as phones, laptops etc are not known for quality sound either. And we haven't even started on MP3s.... ;) I can assure you, they do not offer "amazing" sound, but they will certainly make a racket. With this in mind, save your money and get the cheaper option. |
