Buy it and have it drop-shipped to @Rick Sykora To be honest iam not realy interested in 3inch fullrange speakers. But maybe someone else is?

@Rick Sykora ... this will be interesting for sure.

Can’t we crowd fund an LXmini or something? At least that’s a speaker that he might keep or at least listen to more than one time for a review.

Amir funded if that is what you mean.

That would also be interesting as a stand alone test and something I'll throw in for, however that is a 2-way speaker and I believe the point of this Cooperhead product is to compare it to the single driver 3" LGK, since the Dayton driver used is remarkably similar, although the LGK driver is a Peerless custom product.

Maybe I build the second of the pair without the passive filter. Seems a great candidate to do actively.
I just think this vendetta is not helping anyone. But it’s not my time or money anyway.

IIRC there was someone nearby offering them for test already, but covid got in the way. That might be worth revisiting now. That seems a better bet than crowd funding as making some courier-proof packing for them would probably be harder than making the speakers.

Well, building them sure looks wholesome.

No malice intended on my part. There seems to be a lot of interest in inexpensive, near field speakers for the desktop. Parts Express likely concurs and it is a ”cheap date” that happens to fit within Amir’s speaker test target segment.
Agree a LXmini would be great, but already a shipping challenge and (as mentioned), may happen local to Amir if we can get ahead of Covid!

I dunno -- that "Dad" has a beard.
Remember what George Carlin said: Lenin had a beard. Marx had a beard. Gabby Hayes had whiskers.
... and a green screwdriver?! That must be a secret symbol for some subversive group bent on destroying our social structure.

One has to wonder why they're assembling indoor speakers outdoors in the backyard too...

Ideally the drivers are sent to Erin for stand alone driver testing since he has the Klippel Drive Unit Test Machine.That would also be interesting as a stand alone test and something I'll throw in for, however that is a 2-way speaker and I believe the point of this Cooperhead product is to compare it to the single driver 3" LGK, since the Dayton driver used is remarkably similar, although the LGK driver is a Peerless custom product.

I don't see Peerless in the LGK driver.

It's a long thread... you may not have seen this;
GR Research LGK 2.0 Speaker Review (A Joke)
Quick q. - if you intend to do YouTube video, do you think it would be possible to record real performance of the speaker [so that this awful distortion is there for all to hear?] I don't currently plan to do a video on it but sure, I can see if I can capture its output should I do one. The...

can confirm, built 2 pairs with my kids. they loved every moment of it, including one of them singing his finger tips on the soldering iron.
that being said, i don't have a beard nor do i live near the outdoors so clearly i'm not getting the full on copperhead experience!
