LXmini

The LXmini was designed to render sound recordings with clarity, neutrality and with detailed, 3D-like imaging, when properly set up. The speakers will reveal what is in a recording, but never add unpleasantness. You will get lost in the music and have a big smile on your face, guaranteed!

The LXmini is a 2-way loudspeaker, which can be built DIY from a Kit for around $800, including miniDSP 2x4HD equalizer/crossover. Additionally, 4 power amplifiers in the 50 W to 200 W range are needed. The speaker's frequency range extends from 45 Hz to 20 kHz. The horizontal and vertical off-axis frequency response, which is heard via the room, is spectrally neutral. Thus, listening off-axis merely changes the viewing angle to the phantom acoustic scene rendered by the seemingly absent loudspeakers. 

Physics limits the maximum sound level output from a 5 inch woofer below 150 Hz. A gradual, 12 dB/octave low end roll-off provides satisfactory bass extension below 50 Hz. For LXmini+2 I added separate subwoofers for bass extension to 25 Hz. If you plan to upgrade in the future from LXmini to LXmini+2, then use the miniDSP 4x10HD for LXmini.   ----   SL - 8/16

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself 
but what has drawn your attention
in the streams of superimposed air pressure variations 
at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space
Have they been recorded and rendered sensibly?
