It would be about a 20 hour drive, so maybe every second day.

Ken, when i get mine, i will post a video on youtube, so you can hear what they sound like....

On a serious note, depending on when i get mine (i may ask Axiom to hold them due to getting a job/moving) i will try to do a decent comparison between my 60's and the new speakers. That is if i feel like posting anymore, if i disappear... you'll know why, and that will be your answer laugh

Hi everyone;

A few updates from the show . . . I interviewed James Tanner from Bryston this morning on Andrew's latest object of lust . . . just uploading the video to Youtube now - I'll link it as soon as it's done.

Meanwhile, Piero from Home Theater Hi Fi dropped by to check out the LFR1100s, and here's his report:

Well, it turns out Luc may have room for just *two* more speakers chez Raymond . . .

Need a picture of the LFR1100 next to an M80 for scale. wink

That Bryston thing is really neat. I use a Squeezebox for that (which works wonderfully), but I'm sure the Bryston has better audio quality. I think Salk is making something like that now, too. Gosh, our audio lives are getting more complicated all the time.

Thanks for the updates, Amie!

The M80 looks small compared to the LFR1100. It's really a beauty, I really like the way you can configure the grills. The fact that you have 3 pieces let you in control what area of the speaker that you want to showcase. The DSP module looks like the axiom amp, it's a visually appealing black box. I didn't musically compare the m80 and LFR1100 but it would be an interesting to do.

If you bought a pair, I can guarantee that you will like them.

Tom, you need both the BDP+BDA to play music...

BDP 2,100$.
BDA 2,100$.

I have a good opinion of Bryston, but i think that is a bit rich for my blood right now...
