Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Like the Maggies, a magnetic-planar, but with a couple of advantages. A single m-p driver reproduces 180Hz to 10,000Hz (!), a m-p tweeter above 10k, an 8" dynamic woofer below 180Hz. The woofer integrates very well with the m-p, via a 1st-order x/o. Easier to drive than Maggies (an 8 ohm load, the m-p panel itself being 11-12 ohms), bi-ampable (ss on the woofer, tubes on the panels)---the current Maggies are not, more full-bodied sound (none of that Maggie 1.7i "wispiness"), and higher ultimate SPL capability. Read the review by Robert Greene in TAS. The best value in loudspeakers!
MMGs
A year ago, I bought a pair of MMGs. In my 13x22 room, placement was a challenge but finally worked it out.
Speakers are powered by an Adcom GFA-555. The only source is a CD player through a passive pre-amp.
Now I have a little more to spend and would like thoughts on the following options:
1) Mye stands for the MMGs
2) The DWM panel with the MMGs (secondary question - can this panel be placed on a side wall perpendicular to the MMGs?)
3) 1.7s
Open to other out-of-the-box suggestions as well.
The goal is always to attain that Magnepan soundstage. Musical tastes are female vocalists, jazz, blues.
