Likewise Bruce, every time I have spoken with BT on the phone he has been very relaxed, not like he is trying to get off the phone as soon as possible. In my opinion, to realize the full benefits of bi-amping requires the employment of a filter on the inputs of each power amp, to keep the bass out of the m/t amp and drivers. As the x/o is a fairly simple symmetrical 1st order at 180Hz, that can be accomplished with a single cap on the input jacks of each amp, though a means of balancing the two amp’s gain is still required. A volume control on one of the amps (the bass amp being a good choice) works fine.
Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system
I recently signed up for the V.P.I. Industries newsletter, and today received my first such. In it, Harry Weisfeld reviews a Grado phono cartridge, but this post concerns one of the speakers he listed as being those he uses to listen to music and evaluate recordings through. All but one are traditional dynamic cones/domes in a box designs, only one being a planar/dipole. That planar is the Eminent Technology LFT-8b. I'm pretty sure Harry could, if he so chose, have instead as his sole planar a pair of $6000 Magneplanar MG 3.7i's, or even $14,000 20.7's. But nope, he instead chose the $2500 ET LFT-8b, imo the greatest value in a loudspeaker on the market. I compared it to the 1.7i, and the difference was dramatic.
