New "redesign" of LXmini.

Nobody said anything about assembled speakers, so no need to continue to put words into my mouth. To reiterate, the LXmini is available as a kit from Madisound and other sources for the cost indicated in my prior post. IME, the full kit can be assembled in about an hour by anyone who can use a soldering iron.

Regarding your comment about upgrade path and making it "less painful" for audiophiles to upgrade from passive to active with your LXmini-inspired speakers. Yes - passive is a compromise and that's why Linkwitz doesn't build passive speakers.

I too have had a lot of conversations with LXmini, LX521, Orion and Pluto owners. They all have one thing in common, which is that they believe SL is a very talented engineer and has had a profound impact on music reproduction in the home and studio. These folks have gravitated to his designs because they understand that his decades of experience and ground breaking work in the field has produced some of the best sounding loudspeakers that money can buy. As a bonus, none of his designs are relatively expensive for anyone willing to build them (especially true for LXmini). For those who prefer to buy his speakers fully-assembled and pay a bit more, there are those options too.

Congratulations on the 2nd iteration of your LXmini speakers. Hope they become as popular as some of true Linkwitz designs have.

"Clearly, Ben's speaker design deviates considerably from my original LXmini. I have not heard the new speaker and will not comment on the latest changes, except to say that they continue in directions, which I would not pursue. - SL"
