Now that I've got my Linkwitz LXmini more-or-less final, simplified down to a MiniDSP 4x10HD and a 4-channel Hypex-based amp from Nord, I feel I ought to report how truly amazing these little things are. I have heard and owned so many different speakers and speaker designs since the late 1970's, and nothing, for me, comes close to the transparency and holographic quality of the Linkwitz designs. I had Orions for many years and came to take them for granted. After I sold them last year in anticipation of newer and better things, even very expensive box speakers still sounded like boxes to me. I've never been able to live with the limitations of planars and electrostatics.
When operated at reasonable volume levels and with nothing more than a quality subwoofer to pick up the lowest notes, the LXMini are just mind blowing when it comes to imaging. I don't have the ability, right now, to locate the Linkwitz subs around the room, so the transition from active sub to LXMini could be better, and the naturalness of open-baffle woofers isn't there. But for the money and the payoff in imaging, you owe it to yourself to build these if you can scavenge 4 channels of modest amplification to run them.
