Eminent Technology LFT-4 or LFT-6

The current ET 8s are fantastic as well! One of the best speakers in the world, period!!! Their purity of tone as well as portrayal of instruments size is amazing, and I pretty much heard most whats out there....

I have a pair of 8b's on order, and just nabbed a pair of IV's on eBay. Paid more than they're worth I suppose, but they are the only pair I've seen for sale. I plan on comparing the two, and trying them together and/or with a pair of Tympani IV's as woofers. Gonna need some more high-power amps, aren't I?! Fun!

Are there a pair of LFT-VI's for sale anywhere?

I've owned a pair of LFT-IVs since 2008 (also LFT-VIs since 1998 & LFT-VIIIbs since 2006).

I just did a refresh of the LFT-IVs (with a few tweaks to try still outstanding) & am VERY HAPPY with the results. Increased dynamics, definition, detailing, & naturalness, across the spectrum, but most markedly in the bass (which after damping the wings I realized the stock IVs bass is highly colored by the wings vibrating).

Posting the details in the Audio Asylum Planar Speaker board here:

Some of the things I did are simple & easily reversible (like grounding the speaker driver structures), others (like damping the wings) are not, but if you have a set of LFT-IIIs or IVs with the wings you won't be unhappy with the results of damping them.

Hoping any ET speaker owner finds my experiences useful.

@gstewtoo …
I owned a pair of 8b for about 15 years till I sold them for more than I paid if I remember correctly.  Bruce couldn’t believe it.  Move to my new home in Naples FL and lost my audio room.  With only a great room to work with, had to go to bookshelfs, way more expensive, flatter response and technically a much more accurate speaker.  But…Still miss my LFT-8b on Quicksilver V4 mono blocks, the wife has spoken. Happy wife, happy life, blah blah blah! 😢
