Why the hell did somebody send an LXmini to ASR with the non-official (ie, mine) settings?? Is this some sort of clown show???
I don't believe Amir has the chops to understand, let alone, test this speaker properly. But if he's going to attempt it, it should be in the "official" configuration as defined by SL.

My goodness.

Dave.

Amir doesn't even have the chops to understand that small speakers, that require boundary reinforcement, aren't suitable as test subjects for his massive listening room.

It's like oh they didn't have a pleasing tonal balance, then distorted when you turned them up loud, so you don't recommend them. What a surprise.

At least the lxmini is supposed to be used with space around it.

Many people use smoother mids like Vifa TC9, but SL was attracted to SEAS

The Scanspeak 10F would likely work well in this application.

Yes. That was called the NaO Note II RS, designed almost a decade ago, from the ground up, as a full 4 way dipole with DSP, by John Krevskovsky.

If only there was a manufacturer like IKEA to churn out cabinets in a variety of colours and cabinets for these types of box-less speakers.
Except they went with SONOS...

Well, actually regular cone drivers are not capable of dipole radiation above say 2kHz, because of the spider and motor on the backside. Only planar drivers really work. Minimal baffle is also elementary. I haven't seen backside response measurements of NaO speakers...

Looks like I haven't saved all my measurements of 3-4" cone drivers, they were so pathetic... But here a 4" cone driver vs. B&G Neo 8.

You must believe me, Neo8/3 backside response is smoother than frontal because I mounted them on the backside of the frame!
