This MAY be better than the "MiniCube"

No Baz, I've never seen one. I can, however, give you some info on the flat-panel (planar) speaker they use. (It's not a new technology.) I bought a planar speaker back in the early '60s to use in a practice amp. Fidelity and clarity were wonderful, and it weighed next to nothing. They were originally designed to just hang on the wall and replace the bulky hi-fi speakers. Well, they wouldn't work if you mounted them on a wall, and the best sound came from suspending it in free air, or putting it in a shallow (open-back) frame. It didn't work well at high powers because there's a lot of radiating area, but not a lot of travel available for the diaphragm. Bass response was good as long as you kept the volume down.

I'd say it might make a real nice practice amp, but any real gigging may reveal the shortcomings of that speaker design.

The Micor Pro speakeronly has a low end of 200 hz.
Functionaly to 120hz, but I imaging it is rolled off a lot there.
100hz high pass filter inline too.

No C6 PSG for this baby.

101db at 1 meter.
107 peak at 1 meter.
No one is going deaf with this either.

If they had used the Mini pro it would have gone down to 60 hz

OK for an acoustic guitar gig etc. or a drummer playing with pencils ( good jazz technique)

Here is info on the speaker.

I got an email back from them

quote:
The frequency range is 120 Hz - 21 kHz - that's the range at which can at
operate at its' full output level.

Seems reasonably accetable
