Unison Research MAX Mini Bookshelf Speaker

The MAX Mini is a compact two-way bookshelf speaker designed specifically for Unison Research tube amplifiers. With an 8-inch woofer and 1-inch compression driver, the MAX Mini delivers 93dB sensitivity and an easy 8-ohm load, making it the ideal partner for lower-powered valve amplifiers. Despite its bookshelf dimensions, the MAX Mini extends to 40Hz in-room, bringing real bass presence to smaller listening spaces.

Please Note: MAX speakers are custom-built to order in Italy. Typical lead time is 6-8 weeks.

KEY FEATURES

• 8" High-Sensitivity Woofer: Engineered for tube amplifier compatibility with excellent transient response
• 1" Compression Driver: Extended high-frequency response to 20kHz with smooth dispersion
• 93dB Sensitivity: Perfect for single-ended triode and low-power push-pull amplifiers
• Dual Front Reflex Ports: Two ports for extended bass; easy placement near walls
• 100W Power Handling: Compatible with amplifiers from a few watts to 100W

DESIGNED FOR TUBES

Unison Research created the MAX Mini to deliver the dynamics and tonal richness that tube amplifier owners expect, in a speaker sized for real-world living spaces. The 8-ohm nominal impedance (6 ohm minimum) presents an easy load, while the 93dB sensitivity means even a 10-watt Simply Italy will fill a medium-sized room. For larger spaces or more headroom, pair with the Triode 25.

ITALIAN FINISHING

Each MAX Mini cabinet features hand-selected real wood veneer in your choice of Cherry, Walnut, or Mahogany with a high-gloss lacquer finish. The attention to detail extends to the crossover, built with quality components for a smooth 12dB/octave transition between drivers at 1-1.5kHz.
