| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @clio09: Yeah, the Magnariser's are a great value. Their Maggie stands are a simplified and lighter weight version of the stand Sound Anchors has for years been making. The difference between the Sound Anchors and Magnariser Maggie stands and the ... | |
| DIY Speakers Oh, and for the subwoofer DIYer, Rythmik offers some of their models as kits. The kit includes a plate amp and driver(s), you build the enclosure (or H-frame for the OB). The cool thing about that is, in the case of the F15HP model, the factory en... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity There is a guy on the Planar Speaker Asylum who has run a brace between his pair of Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa and the wall behind them. He says that has resulted in a noticeable increase in not only sound quality, but also increased bass out of th... | |
| recommendation for stereo tube amplifier for Marten Bird 2 speakers other than EAR.... The Martens are wonderful loudspeakers (I've heard them), and the M-60 a great amp (I've owned them), but with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms (dropping to below 5 at some frequencies) I’m not sure that is a good pairing (unless you add the AntiCabl... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity Cool Scot, I’m emailing Grant to get a pic of the LFT-8b stand.Is everyone watching Steve Guttenberg’s Audiophiliac Daily Show blog on YouTube? The latest has Steve and Herb Reichert discussing 300B tube amps and horn loudspeakers. But there were ... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @ledoux1238: Here’s what I would do:Get yourself a pair of LFT-8b’s and live with them for a few months. If you then feel you want to get more out of them, address the reason for your dissatisfaction. Why worry about bi-amping when you haven’t yet... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Sorry Steve, I’ve been suffering a little with some kind of illness. Really sore and achy all over. No fever or trouble breathing, plus I’m fully vaccinated, so it’s not Covid.Anyway, Leon didn’t choose Tom over Twilley; both were signed to... | |

| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @clio09: The LFT-8b panel houses a pair of LFT midrange drivers, and a single ribbon tweeter. The x/o point between the two is at 10kHz, symmetical 1st order. The speaker is fitted with two sets of binding posts, one for the panel and one for the ... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @clio09, I believe the reason for the 180Hz x/o from the panel to the woofer is because the dual midrange LFT drivers don't produce enough output below 180Hz to do otherwise. But remember, the LFT-8b wooder is just that: a woofer, not a sub. Looke... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @ledoux1238: Yeah, the Marchand x/o’s are very well respected. They make filter "cards" for every conceivable need, the 1st-order you need being the most simple.As for using the volume control of the Mactone to balance the panels and woofers, reme... | |
| Speaker cone shape I imagine many of you are not old enough to remember the Leak "Sandwich" loudspeakers from the early-1970’s; Leak was one of the British companies that never really took off in the U.S.A. in a big way.Leak’s claim to fame was their flat-face drive... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @ledoux1238:1: You sure can. However, if the two amps don’t provide the same gain (fairly likely), you WILL need a means of adjusting the volume of the higher gain one. Some power amps include a volume control, but these days that’s rare. A simple... | |
| Your top 3 most EMOTIONALLY intense live concerts, and top 3 EMOTIONALLY intense records. I passed Steve Martin as he was coming out of the Classical Annex, musta been in the late-90’s. When our eyes met he smiled, with a "Yeah, it’s really me" look on his face. When I didn’t react, the look turned into one of embarrassment ;-) .Has ev... |
