The LXmini having way more votes illustrates my point.
Dave.
As a supporter of fact-based decisions, I want to see the LXmini tested as well. As we both know, this is more of an investment than some of the other choices. If you cannot commit, perhaps you know someone who might?
Finally, in case you missed from my earlier post:
...Amir says he is swamped with requests to test COTS speakers and so the first wave of DIY ones will likely be member loaners. Next he want us to nominate one design to really see if DIY is a better value than COTS. All the earlier rules still apply, but given the initial feedback, am upping the budget to $800 or less...
In hindsight, there is no one design, but a design for a set of price points. So for starters he
is taking some low fruit, but given the poll results, it is clear the LXmini has forum support. While I may be willing to invest in building a pair, the shipping alone is a major hurdle from Ohio. I will need help to lower some of the hurdles.
