I liked 'em so much, I'm adding second pair. Saw a review which suggested that two pairs running as mains hearkened back to the Infinity four tower 60K$ reference speakers.
I found that intriguing, so I'm putting together a preamp with dual main outs, 8 channels of amplification, 4 pair of speaker cables, and interconnects, and of course, the four LFT-8's. Let's say it'll be "interesting."
The more the watts the merrier. Biamping makes a big difference.
Run them with a good quality sub; better yet, twin subs (I'm using Vandersteen 2W's). The Vandy's also incorporate tripple 8" drivers, similar to the 8" driver of the LFT-8's. Makes it very nice to blend low end.
I think you'd be shocked at how lovely the mid/uppers can sound if you've been using older speakers for a while. If you're a serious music lover, and you've never spent much time with planar speakers, you owe it to yourself to at least do the 30 day home demo. There are not many speakers that can compete for the $.
I sold my Magnepan 1.6QR's days after I hooked up the LFT-8's. Never looked back...richer, fuller, more holographic, etc.
Went to my first tube pre (Rogue Magnum 66) and wow, the Eminents came alive!
