I don't know of anyone participating on the boards who has the LFR180 yet. I've toyed with the idea of getting one, but I have other upgrades I'd do well before. I am using the LFR1100s as my mains, and they're doing great. My center is currently a VP180.

As for how you hook the LFR speakers up, you simply run cables from the preamp outputs on your receiver to the corresponding inputs on the DSP. The DSP processes the signal and outputs separate front and rear signals to your outboard amps. You need two channels of amplification per LFR speaker. There IS an option to get amplifier and DSP housed in one unit, but I think you're limited to an ADA1000 if you go that route. I went all-out with an ADA1500.
