Finally finished my speakers. Diy open baffle subwoofer with 2x Eminence Beta 5, 8Ohm in series on a 1.5x1.5m semi open baffle. Two 3 way satellite tall slim speakers. Minidsp, 2xICEPower125asx2, Behringer A800. First i was building the lxmini with the speaker drivers but I was not happy with the sound result for my beloved music, so i switched back to closed speaker for the satellites crossed over at 80hz. Woofer 80-1lHz, midrange 1-3kHz, tweeter 3kHz and up. The built video is here:

The measurement looked really flat out of the box in-room after adjusting the sound level of the drivers. I will upload asap.Recycling the LXmini! That's the (DIY) spirit!
Any speaker measurements or in-room MMM measurements?
How come you didn't flush mount the drivers. It really makes a big difference for tweeters, but also a positive effect on midrange and woofers too.
I admit visually it might look better but without CNC it decided to simply mount it from the front. All drivers are working in their omnidirectional Frequency range except the highest frequencies, so no diffraction is expected at the 150mm (half=75mm=>4kHz) wide speaker front. The tweeter has is own flushed faceplate with a diameter of 100mm .How come you didn't flush mount the drivers.

With omnidirectional I meant in the front of the speaker... So no beaming.I admit visually it might look better but without CNC it decided to simply mount it from the front.

Much too bright, yet hollow sounding, so guess it's a mic/youtube 'thing' or maybe it's super high aspect ratio without enough damping.
I tried to find good royalty free recordings for demonstration. Do you have a good song? I will also upload the Condenser microphone recording ( but is only mono).Much too bright, yet hollow sounding, so guess it's a mic/youtube 'thing' or maybe it's super high aspect ratio without enough damping.
Not really, I mean the youtube stuff I listen to are mostly '40s- '50s big band, so mostly compressed ~am with a few FM BW recordings AFAIK. Haven't had a proper HIFI system for ages now, but a ~recent PBS program had a Rocktopia concert in Budapest DVD that impressed me enough to try out on a buddy's DIY MEH's, though apparently they're commanding big bucks now, so got a huge bargain at < $15.
That said, a banned? forum member did a number of Lii audio 'FR' driver videos with some nice music and ones we could compare to, so if still there...........Ah! Here's some.
