Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo LFR1100 actives

Hi all!

Am considering the purchase of lfr1100 actives. If I am sitting 9 feet away from the actives in a 12 x 24 foot room, woud 2 ada1000-5s be enough application? Thanks for and help.

Absolutely. I'm powering M5's with an ADA1000 in a similar sized room and never run out of power. The LFR1100 Actives are more sensitive, and you're putting 5 channels into each.

Thanks much bman84!

I believe your only reason to go ADA1250-5 would be looking for the lowest possible noise floor.

Andrew stated in his recommendation thread: “As for which type of interconnects to use, we strongly suggest using balanced XLR connections if both your pre-amp/processor/receiver and your amplifier(s) have them available.“

In addition to that, craigsub had this to say in another thread: “We went with XLR's - there is noticeable "deeper blackness" to the overall presentation vs. RCA's - a clear indication of a lower noise floor.”

I don’t believe amplification would be an issue.

Steve - To echo what everyone has already said - the ADA-1000's will kick serious ... power.

Great point. It may be worth it to get the 1250s just for the XLR connections. The ADA1000 only has RCA inputs.

An MLP of 9 feet can instantly phase your cochleas from solid to puddly goo so be careful with the volume control.

Hi All,

Actives on order, the wait is almost to hard to take. My receiver is a denon x6500h and I will be using it's preouts to connect to two new ada1000-5s. Should I set the ohm setting to 4 on the receiver or leave it on the 8 setting? Does it even matter?

Thanks for any help,

Steve

It matters not for the Ohm setting is for speaker outputs and you will be liquefying your cochleas via your pre-outs.

Agree with Mojo and more specifically, your Denon pre-outs will actually be going to the DSPs and the DSPs will be going to your ADA1000-5s.
