This was a remarkable speaker in its size and price class, when it was made back in the 1980s. I had one that I bought new for a shortwave radio audio system, which I no longer use. Recently, I needed a mate for a stereo application - a small computer audio system. This used unit fit the bill nicely, and I was happy to find it. You would not expect a speaker with a 4-inch woofer and a very small enclosure to have any real bass, and they don't. But, what they do have, after all these years, is amazingly clean, detailed sound, a natural tonal balance within their operating range, and a surprisingly-credible stereo image. Radio Shack's audio products were always hit or miss. The Minimus 7 was one of their best efforts - a real winner.

Minimus 7 are very very good sounding. Not for the larger listening environments, but sound is right up there among the highest regarded speakers. Components are the same whether made in Japan, Korea, or Malaysia. And get Minimus 7 Crossover upgrade kit. A guy named Litekeys sells them on Ebay. Upper bass into the mid range sounds better with this mod. Bass is tight and full. At times you will be asking yourself - "Where is that low bass coming from? I don't believe my ears." Just dig the sound. And don't try to fill up a large room by cranking them up.

I've had both the Realistic and RCA-branded versions of these speakers over the decades, and they STILL SOUND as great as they ever did. I'm currently using my (unfortunately white) RCA versions with my PC, and a Technics receiver under my monitor. I could not be happier nor more content with totally awesome stereo sound. No, they don't have big boomy bass, but they DO HAVE decent up-close bass, and stunning clear treble highs that bring out the best in all my music. Glad I own these !!!!!!

Minimus 7 speakers have a very good sound to them. For a small speaker, they are worth the investment. Despite their age, they are really nice.
