Philharmonic Audio Ceramic Mini Monitor

Nemo Propaganda - Buchardt S400 Bass for half the price! Part Time Audiophile - sound way nicer and more sophisticated than they have any right to at the asking price Erin's Audio Corner Ceramic Minis will be re-stock in November 2026. The Ceramic Mini is a 2-way monitor that can function admirably as a modestly-sized stand mount or as a wide-range desktop or surround speaker. Like all of our offerings, it is designed for broad and even radiation with a highly linear on-axis response. The woofer is the 5-inch ceramic woofer similar to the one in our BMR monitor and shares the same smooth, extended frequency response and surprising bass reach for its size. The rear port can be sealed if space constraints require mounting flush with a wall. The 1-inch ceramic tweeter is one of the smoothest available and can be crossed low enough to match the horizontal radiation pattern of the ceramic woofer, without resorting to a waveguide.
