The LFR-1100's with the EP800 is a world class performer at a real world price.
At just short of $10k for speakers, what world do you live in Craig?

Most world class performer speakers are in the $50,000 per pair range and up, assuming we are looking at getting to 20 Hz. These speakers will also require at least $10,000 in amplification, and STILL will not play as deep, throw a soundstage as deep (but will as wide) and won't exceed the ability of the ADA-1500-4, a pair of LFR-1100's and a pair of EP800's to deliver reference levels of crystal clear sound from 11 Hz to beyond 20,000 Hz. The ENTIRE package is available from the Outlet store for under $12,000. $12,000 is not inexpensive, but when it compares favorably to a Magico system driven by McIntosh amps that total $90,000 ... You get the idea.

No ... it does what a good amp should do: amplify the electrical signal without a response variation regardless the impedance of the speaker in question. This is what properly designed tube or solid state amp does.

Yes, I was being facetious. I've only heard good things about the Axiom ADA amps.

The only tough thing now is I am negotiating the purchase of two auto dealerships, so not only is money tight, so is time.

Good luck with your venture!
You can't go wrong with a nice McIntosh. Resale is pretty easy and they keep their value.
