Realistic Minimus 7

I was driving past a garage sale last week, and stumbled on a pair of original Minimus 7's (not the RCA knock offs) for the grand sum of $5.00! Took them home - plugged them in, and was absolutely amazed at the sound! I was a little worried they might be blown or damaged, but it doesn't appear that way at all.  I have often read about the Realistic Minimus 7 desktop speakers and their "cult status", but have never heard them before.
 
The high end is very crisp and clean, much better than I had ever imagined from a low cost set of speakers. I used to use a pair of JBL Control 1's as a desktop (small speaker) monitor reference, but these are so much better I'll be shelving the JBL's for now.
 
I can't wait to use them on a mix as a secondary to my main monitors.

Don't fix it in the mix ... Fix it in the take! 
 
Desktop: Win 7 Pro 64 Bit , ASUS MB w/Intel Chipset, INTEL Q9300 Quad Core, 2.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM, ATI 5450 Video
Laptop: Windows 7 Pro, i5, 8 Gig Ram
Hardware: Presonus FP10 (Firepod), FaderPort, M-Audio Axiom 49, Mackie 1202 VLZ, POD X3 Live, Variax 600, etc... etc...

    I have a pair of those two - and they are great for their size@  Very realistic too lol.  I won't ever dump them I suspect.
