I have 2x minirig3 and 2x minirig subwoofers. It sounds incredible... but not as portable and convenient when setting up 4 devices with cables connecting each device. I've been debating if I should reduce it down to 2 devices for stereo... I'm wondering how it compares to the bluetooth speakers you mentioned?
I have 2 4's and one sub 4. Did have another 2 3's and 2 sub 3's but was over kill.
I only have MR3's, so I can't speak for MR4's, but if you're always using the same source (e.g. phone or a digital player), then connecting one Minirig by bluetooth is super simple and stable. You literally just turn the speaker on wait for it to beep and hit play. So I think a single MR would be a good option for the kitchen/casual listening/someone not too techy. Volume would not be an issue - my Minirigs have never gone near max volume and I already worry about my downstairs neighbours sometimes. For yourself, I honestly love the 2.1 MR setup. I had a 2.0 setup for about 3 years then bought a MR sub second hand about a year ago just to try it out (figured I could sell it for the same price if I didn't like it).... now I use them in 2.1 all the time. It just rounds out the sound really nicely.. That said, you won't miss the sub if you just get 2 MRs and that's all you use. And it will still sound great. 🙂
Why wouldn’t they auto connect? I have Minirig 3s and they auto connect with my iPhones and androids even in TWS.
brane x for work. Minirig 3 for beaches/outdoor hikes. Goplay 3 in stereo for backyard. jbl 320 for karaoke lol.
Minirig 3 all day long
I use mine for work. I’m a decorator, it’s ideal as small and low centre of gravity. Even an extra Minirig would be a hassle, and since I only do private work I don’t really need the volume. That’s what I tell myself anyway..
Or Minirig 3. Take mine to work, in car, workshop etc. It’s a good stable shape, plenty of volume and battery life
