I dont like the look of the original LX mini.
I have an idea here.

It is not the final one,and the foot is too small.
I have ordered the speakers and the drawings .

As long as you retain Siegfried's very carefully engineered internal dimensions and configuration /spacing of the forward facing driver, you should be OK.
Change any of those, as well as the crossover at your peril.

If you've bought his plans and drivers you can always go back to the original design if you're not happy with your own. I think it's great to try out different things, but you'll only know if it's better or equal to the original if you also build one to compare with.
I will try to retain volumen and placements ,but try a new design.
I have build Pluto model with my own design.

It is easy to make the right volumen, but is it nesesary to use a tube. If so, I might use the tube inside ,and make a outer cabinet like the drawing.

But it isn't really the bottom tube that is dislikable; it's the top tube that makes it ungainly. I look forward to seeing your disguise!
Maybe here is the best one from SL's LX gallery?

Some builders have simply used a larger diameter bass pipe and adjusted the bass EQ to suit, avoiding the coupler. Seems to work fine, but the pipes will cost more and you need to know what you're up to with the DSP.
There's no doubt that the acoustically functional aspects of all of Siegfried's designs might be a hard sell for some "domestic managers" 😀, but a review of the LXmini's builders' gallery demonstrates some creativity.

emphasis mine
I rather like the smooth lines on this take by a Chinese builder

I think the "look" of Siegfried's design is one of its strong points!! Your friends won't have anything like it!
I like the chinese model.
I will make the mid+high cabinet octagonal truncated cone too.
Is it OK to make the upper tupe as a truncated cone with a 2" hole in back and 3" in front?
I will try to draw it,using sketch up.

If not already addressed in the OPLUG forum ORION/PLUTO/LX... Users Group • Index page - that might be a question best posed directly to the designer.
Designer already said:
"The LXmini is designed as a transducer, from electrical voltage IN to 3D acoustic radiation OUT. The most important elements in the design are the drivers and the pipes to which they are mounted and their relative arrangement. Look at it as a two cylinder/piston electro-acoustic motor. It is a machine, not a piece of furniture, and it has a beauty in its lines and simplicity of execution. It is a machine where moving or changing mechanical elements will change its behavior to varying degree. Do not ask me about the audibility of a change. Do it and compare it to the LXmini as designed to find out whether it was worthwhile."

Thank´s for the reply´s.
I will try to make tubes inside the cabinets.

This is the top cabinet.

I have a prototype of my octagonal truncated cabinet.
