Does anyone recognize these MINI speakers? (2024)

I just pulled these out from a storage box that was never unpacked from out last house move.
I probably bought them new about 25 years ago as B speakers for my workshop.
As you can see they appear to be a 3 way design, in molded plastic cabinets that are identical in size to Realistic Minimus 7s (shown here for reference)
The 3 spring terminals allows them to be used as 4 or 8 ohm.

They are fairly light, but actually sound pretty good in an A / B comparison with the M7s

Note that my M7s are heavier than standard as they have ballistic sound deadening on the inside walls.

IIRC, those were sold under a variety of names including KLH. They showed up on the heels of the Minimus popularity.

Yep they are a pair - see first picture, I just showed with the M7 for a comparison.

I have seen the KLH versions, a little different on the back they are 6 ohm with just 2 spring wire connectors

I actually have the steel wall mount brackets for them, they attach to threaded holes on the top and bottom which allows them to be clamped at an angled position.

These have no branding on them and I can’t remember where I bought them …

Could have been the electronics department of the local Meijer supermarket - lol

I’m tempted to try and look inside them, I’m thinking there’s not much in there - maybe a couple of small caps to act as a cheap crossover ?

It looks like you can still get something very similar

I couldn’t resist taking a look inside them

That rear speaker wire clip unit has a bridge between the 2 red terminals so it doesn’t make a difference which one you use even though they are marked 4 and 8 ohms on the back

I am not sure what company made your speakers because many made a look-alike copycat in the last 30 years. The Realistic sound great because of the metal cabinets and the drivers are quite good too. Most imitations are made in China and the cabinets are plastic. Sorry if I can't give you more info. Good luck !
