    Realistic Driver DB

    I would like to create a reference database for Realistic (Radio Shack) speakers. The point is quite simple, Radio Shack made the habit of repurposing drivers (really not much different from the Big 3 Auto makers for decades). All I ask is that you provide the catalog number for the speaker and...

    Which Canton Model to Replace Minimus 7s for Low Vol Listening?

    I was advised here to use a pair of Minimus 7's that I happened to have in storage, up top the kitchen cupboards for low volume listening. I added a sub, and it was an excellent suggestion. I read somewhere that Canton also makes a small speaker that would be an improvement to the Min7 in this...

    Minimus 7w : 4 ohm replacement speakers / crossovers

    Hi all, I have a nice pair of Minimus 7w’s that weren’t working, and I also happened upon a nice pair of replacement speakers for cheap. The replacements are a perfect fit and look great too. The new woofers are 4 ohm instead of the original 8 ohm, for which the existing crossovers were...

    Realistic Minimus 0.5. How do they sound?

    I have a pair of these coming in the mail. All I know is that they were made sometime in the 70's and have a single 3.5 inch full-range driver. But how's the sound quality? Has anyone here listened to a pair before? Some background info: I bought them to replace a pair of Minimus 7's I'm using...

    Tri-laminate dome tweeter for Optimus 7

    From Polk RT 16. I'm going for it. Need to make a 1/8 in notch. Almost a direct drop in fit. Bought them for 60 bucks the other day. Sold for $189 in 1973.

    Realistic Minimus-1: A Small Speaker Project

    The Minimus-1 speakers are ostensibly the precursor to the very popular Minimus-7. And although they are (IMO) better sounding than its more famous successor, they are relatively unknown. Radio Shack first introduced this model in 1967 with the 40-1966 catalogue number; my set is from 1971 and...

    Realistic Minimus-26 woofer - no sound

    I picked up a pair of Minimus 26s at Salvation Army over the weekend, for the $5 it seemed worth the gamble and they appeared to be in good shape. The timing worked out well as I needed a smaller set to test out my recently cleaned up Pioneer SX-434 which will eventually be connected to a set of...
