I've now built and troubleshooted a pair of these. My travails can be found HERE. I'm temporarily running the MiniDSP 2x4 HD and a 4-channel Adcom amp I picked up on Craigslist. I wanted to use some inexpensive stuff before I turn to measurably better, much more expensive stuff.
Next, I'm planning to build Nelson Pass's ASP from the kit, and if that works out, I'll save up to get some knockout amplification -- possibly the Benchmark, though even at my dealer cost, those things are still pretty dear. But all in good time. Maybe I'll build some Hypex amps from a kit.
So far, the LXMini are superlative. I've got the Dutch & Dutch 8C in the same room. The LXMini image better than any other speaker I have heard, no question, but the 8C have a silky, natural frequency response that can't be beat, plus ungodly dynamic capability in a room of the size of my media room (2200 cu. ft.). The LXMini are pure finesse and soundstaging out the wazoo, which is insanely pleasurable.
