Thanks a lot...
Now that my wife has seen the picture of me passed out with a strange woman by my side, I'm in BIG trouble.
It was fun though!! 😀
I tried to talk my way out of it.
But she said it looked more like I was hoping to hog the wet spot!
😀😀
All kidding aside, one of the cool things about Siegfried's designs is that sitting in the "sweet spot" isn't as critical as it is with other designs.
Viincent, it will amuse you to know that Siegfried informed me that the
LX-minis were mis-wired when hooked up to the FW's.
Maybe they will work with 25W after all.

Could Greedy Boyz have little more informations about 25 W prototypes amplifiers ?
😀
Hmmm... That combo sounded really good mis-wired, I think my favorite of what I listened to on Sunday.
Now I'm curious just how much better they would sound if wired correctly! Perhaps we'll find out at Burning Amp. 🙂
That's exactly what I was wondering when you mentioned that they were mis-wired!
It also may explain why there seemed to be so little difference between the chip amps and your experimental amps. It was puzzling to me that that would be the case. 😱
When we switched from the chip amps to Nelson's amps the left speaker's woofer was driven with the left tweeter signal and the left speaker's tweeter was driven with the left woofer signal. The tweeter is a 3" fullrange. It easily handles 25 W but runs out of excursion at low frequencies. The woofer driver beams high frequencies to the ceiling.
We noticed that something was wrong when we played a track that had significant bass and which had played fine with the amps beforehand.

We did not investigate at the time but moved to a different room to listen to the LX521.4 instead.

What I found interesting was just how good the minis sounded with both the chip and experimental amps. Sitting in the sweet spot on the couch, I noticed a slight difference in the sound between the left and right channels that I attributed to the shape of the room and the expansiveness of the area to the left of the listening area.
The bass response and how it seamlessly integrated with the upper registers was truly amazing. Even more amazing when you consider that when mis-wired, the right channel must have been doing most of the heavy lifting! 🙂
