I moved from the M80 to the LFR1100 and will say the change was substantial. Now you need to remember that the LFR1100 is sort of like the M100 with the advantage of a DSP and an extra set of speakers at the back of the unit.

I did give someone a listen to my LFR's a few years ago pre pandemic and one of the things he wanted to see what what it was like if you turned off the rear speakers on the LFR. that is easy to do, so I gave it a try and the sound envelope that makes you feel like you are inside the music for lack of a better description fell away and you suddenly could sense that the speakers were infront of you instead of around you.

I was amazed by the great sound that they produced but i will always give an equal bit of warning. When I first got the LFR i was missing quite a bit of the speaker capability because the pre-amp that i had wasn't up to the task. make sure that you have a clean pre-amp as these speakers are very revealing.
