The Masterpiece Mini Series marks a new milestone in high-end loudspeaker design. For the first time, HornSolutions will offer a more compact version of our renowned Masterpiece Series. This speaker's new design is tailored for customers with smaller listening spaces. Thanks to its reduced size, the Masterpiece Mini Series is significantly easier to integrate into standard living environments. Additionally, it offers a substantially higher WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor), making it the ideal choice for audiophiles who seek a live music performance in their home environment without dominating their living space.
Innovative Bass Design
​
Unlike the full-sized Masterpiece Series,
the Masterpiece Mini Series departs from horn-loaded bass and instead utilizes an ingeniously designed sealed bass enclosure. Inspired by the WE66A midrange horn, this asymmetrical cabinet design serves two critical purposes:
​
1. It eliminates standing waves and internal resonances, allowing the two hard-suspension 16" woofers to operate with absolute precision. The internal pressure within the cabinet does not negatively influence the movement of the drivers, ensuring unparalleled clarity and control in bass reproduction.
2. Visually, the bass enclosure forms a seamless unit with the WE66A horn placed on top, creating an elegant, flowing aesthetic that enhances any listening environment.

Midrange Purity with the WE66A
At the heart of the system lies the legendary WE66A midrange horn, driven by the world-renowned 666 compression driver. This combination effortlessly covers the critical 180 Hz – 1,800 Hz range, ensuring that approximately 80% of all musical content remains unaltered by crossover interference. Unlike many horn speaker designs, the Masterpiece Mini Series avoids the need for a crossover within the most sensitive frequency range while preserving the warmth and naturalness of music.
Refined High Frequencies
​
Above 1,800 Hz, the Elysio HT16 takes over, a refined and more compact version of the acclaimed Elysio HT9. Extending up to 20 kHz plus, it delivers a level of detail and airiness that brings every recording to life. Just like in the Masterpiece Series, the WE66A and HT16 are arranged concentrically, resulting in a true point-source speaker system. This design ensures phase linearity and an exceptional depth in soundstage reproduction.
​
Efficiency and Versatility
​
With an impressive sensitivity of 108 dB, the Masterpiece Mini Series maintains the efficiency and dynamics expected from a high-performance horn speaker. It will be available in both active DSP-controlled and passive configurations, featuring a scaled-down version of our premium analog crossover, "The Networks."
The Networks: Precision Analog Crossover
In the passive configuration, the Masterpiece Mini Series employs a meticulously engineered analog crossover, "The Networks." This crossover is seamlessly integrated into the speaker design, not only serving a functional role but also enhancing the visual appeal of the system. Designed specifically for the Masterpiece Mini Series, "The Networks" manages crossover points at 180 Hz and 1,800 Hz, ensuring optimal frequency distribution between the drivers. By utilizing high-quality components and precise engineering, this crossover preserves the integrity of the audio signal, delivering a cohesive and immersive listening experience.
​
Perfectly Integrated Form and Function
​
The Masterpiece Mini Series is more than just a smaller version of our flagship speaker—it is a carefully engineered system that brings world-class performance to a broader audience. While the Masterpiece Series remains the ultimate expression of sonic perfection, the Masterpiece Mini Series retains its core essence in a more room friendly form.
