Hey all
Picked up s pair of these Rectilinear mini III’s in a trade. Cabinets a little rough.
Haven’t hook up yet. Any one have any opinions on these.?? Thanks

Very nice speaker. Smooth mids, nice highs, solid lows. Mine are on top of some bookcases, so I’m augmenting them with a small sub. They can rock a large bedroom or a good sized living room with no problem.

These speakers used the same Philips midrange driver and a single Peerless cone tweeter as used in multiples in the full sized Model III with a smaller woofer in a much smaller cabinet. As with all 1960's or 70's vintage Rectilinear speakers a cross-over recap is very highly recommended to get them sounding they way they were designed to once again.

I recapped a pair and gave them to my son. If the same capacirors in those were what I found in mine they will need changing. I found an odd 90uf non polar cap. I had to use two 45uf caps in parallel to that 90uf. Even 45uf is a bit odd, but I found them at Partsconexion. Even after a recap, the high end sounded a bit rolled off. Very non fatiguing to listen to. They matched well with a 4 ohm tube amp I gave my son also.
