The LX521's have excellent depth when set up properly....

The LX mini is a fascinating design, I would love to see what it does on the Klippel...

Directivity isn't as wacky as I expected (for whatever reason) but the frequency response looks pretty bad and the verticals are super rough.

A member was kind enough to send me one long time ago. It sat around for a good few moths. 
So the poor owner asked for it back. When he got it, he said it had broken anyway so it was not good for testing. Another member offered one but by the time I got around to responding to him, he no longer had it. So maybe we will get one again to test.

Would these LXmini considered dipole? It's interesting how the contour graph would look like this, since that tweeter is front firing and it appears to be in a closed cylindrical camber.
Anyway, what do you mean by dead soundstage? All of the dipole and omnidirectional speakers I have heard usually have a really big sound stage, but all, except for one, almost have no focused imaging at all.

I built a pair of LXmini ages ago and thought they were not bad considering their size.
Years later, a friend suggested listening to them super near-field (like 50cm away), the imaging was stunning!

Didn't say they were dead. I said it was flat as in a plane between the two speakers and not extended backward.
Odd. That's diametrically the opposite way they sound.
Exactly the kind of music I expect at a hifi fair. Close-mic with intimate female vocals, the kind of reverb you might suspect, a few notes played (those musical instruments barely break a sweat, so to speak).
It chews on without tension or drama, dynamically undemanding.
I listened to that song in my out walking exercising headphones:
It worked, sounds ok. However, with dynamic music they distort audibly almost immediately at normal listening volume.
(I mostly listen to podcasts, talk radio with those headphones)
