The challenge will be in comparing these speakers to live music. We do a lot of "live band" stuff in fall/winter. Jazz, college performances for our son and daughter... the LFR-1100's as active speakers have some pretty lofty goals.

Here are some quotes from the product page:

"The most realistic-sounding speakers ever? Indulge your wildest audio fantasies with these hear-it-all wonders.


Voices are crystal-clear. Cymbals shimmer and bass can be felt, not just heard."

The initial testing will be done with the PS Audio pre-amp and the LFR-1100 actives. Will the bass be felt? Can they reproduce my daughter's opera voice accurately?
