Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Selecting the right amp for the LFR1100

Matt ... The difference between the two amps is this: The 1250 can deliver one more dB in SPL than can the 1000.

Based on the 93 dB in room Sensitivity rating of the LFR-1100's, here is a comparison in max output from a single LFR-1100:

LFR-1100 plus ADA-1000-4: 117 dB
LFR-1100 plus ADA-1250-4: 118 dB
LFR-1100 plus ADA-1500-4: 118.75 dB

If you didn't have the EP500's, we would be having a conversation about woofer control and greater current capability of the ADA-1250/1500, but with your system, the ADA-1000-4 and a pair of LFR-1100's will actually hit peaks of 120 dB at 1 meter.

That's front row rock concert loud. That's "I am going to need a hearing aid" loud.

The aspect of the ADA-1000 that I really like is it has this NAD like ability to never distort. Dynamic headroom is outstanding.

If money was no object, I would never hesitate to pull the trigger on an ADA-1500. But for the money, the ADA-1000 is an incredible value.

It's one of those products that has great specs while playing far above its specs and its price.
