Many have heard of the Platinum Audio Solos which most seem to agree was a fine monitor but I have the Platinum Audio Reference One's Circa. 1997-1999 which are a more refined version of the Solos. I'm as amazed as I am baffled with how much bass these produce for their size as well as the other typical audiophile attributes. They do need alot of clean power to sound their best but will play very loud all the while maintaining their coherency. Still a little uncertain what qualifies as "mini monitor" though
