360.0. "Minimus 7's in Tandy sale" by LARVAE::IVES_J (Bad Karma in the UK) Fri May 29 1992 16:13

    I noticed that the Reading Tandy has Minimus 7 speakers for �29.95 each
    which is �10 off the normal price (25% off), as part of the summer
    sale.
    
    This puts a pair at �60.00 :-)
    
    I know that Tandy has zero HiFi cred but . . .
    
    If you delve into our companion AUDIO notes conference there is a very
    interesting note  about this speaker, with entries from many of the
    states side high enders.
    
    the story goes that for the money they can't be beat, and when you
    start to modify them they really start to sing.
    
    FWIW

    It is true that the Tandy can't be beat for the price. However, after
    awhile you will want something better, a "real" speaker. Maybe it is
    better to spend another 40 pounds and get something that you can live
    with longer, e.g., Goodmans Maxim 2, JPW Sonata, etc.
    
    I owned a pair of Tandys (Called in North America Radio Shack), so I
    speak from first-hand experience.
