Eminent Technology LFT-4 or LFT-6

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! 😢
