Thanks for the info and correction clio. 5000 volts! Beware, modifiers!! I bought a pair of LFT-4’s as an alternative to my Quad ESL’s, and it CAN be crossed-over to at 100Hz (or lower) from a sub, being a pure panel / no cone woofer design. I know Roger uses an 8" woofer in his sub, so am thinking his ESL may be an excellent candidate for the OB/Dipole Sub from GR Research/Rythmik. No offense, Roger ;-) . An 8" woofer can move only so much air, and the dual 12" woofer OB/Dipole Sub is really, really good, and perfect for dipole loudspeakers. I gotta sell some of my vintage drumsets before I can spring for the Music Reference direct-drive system.
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.
