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.

Thanks again Bruce. The Jupiter caps come highly recommended, preferred by Danny Richie of GR Research (as well as you ;-). They aren't cheap, but the LFT-8b x/o is relatively simple, with not that many parts.
I am curious what Audiogoners are using for speaker wire on the Eminents?  I had been using single run of Xindak FS-1 which I thought was great.  However upon returning to running 2 identical runs  of Straightwire Maestro 10' per speaker I was just shocked what I was missing.  It seems the crossover distortion has also been greatly reduced. Music just starts and stops on a dime.  Maybe its a biwre thing?
Bruce, Clear Day Double Shotgun for the LFT drivers, Kimber 8VS for the woofers, both in 8’ runs.

I use AQ Redwood spk cables with great results. The cable is a combo of silver on top copper below. Pricey but can be had at discounts if you search, I’ve had my LFT8Bs for years and love what they do.

QS V4s w/ TS150s & Shindo pre drive them nicely. 🎼
