Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Hearing Things LFR-1100's and assorted tests to be done

the title of the thread caught my eye.

The LFR is an interesting speaker, and though you are asking for other speakers that you should look into, I am going to ask for a different tact.

As the LFR is shall we say the top end of the Axiom line and a rather unique design of speaker in it will only work with an external amp and not a receiver due to its external DSP. One of the questions I have had with my purchase was if or how much the selection of the power amp plays to its sound. Will you get the same level of sound stage and quality from a budget minded amp (like a $500 Adcom) compared to a larger to tier amp (like a $5k+ Jeff Rolands or Mark Levinson)

Put the two speakers in the mid point of the room and wire one speaker to one amp and the other to a different one. It's a perfect blind test as unless you follow the wires to see what is actually hooked up you can test A/B against any combination.

Are you getting any bang for you buck with a better or more expensive amp all else held equal.
