I just finished listening to the remastered version of radioactivity by Kraftwerk. There are lots of psychoacoustic effects in there but the coolest one had me checking if my right surround had somehow turned on. 6 feet ahead of the right speaker about a foot lower than where the ceiling meets the side wall, there's a decaying cymbal-like sound shooting forward. I'm pretty sure if my QS10 wasn't there, the effect would keep on travelling to the back. This is 5.5 feet to the right of the M100 and -25dB. When I turn up the gain, the effect remains the same size but just gets louder as if there's a pseudo speaker there. Very cool!

I'll check that out.
BTW, Ian told me with the exception of the dynamic capability, they are like the M5s. That is so not true! I'm so glad I tried them out for myself and took the time to set them up as properly as I possibly can. I can't imagine how much better they'd sound with your tools, knowledge and fancy gimmicks...lol!
Ian insists the LFRs are on a completely different level and I just can't imagine that - like I couldn't imagine anything being better than the M5s...lol!

Would love to hear them! Out of reach for me price wise. Would need 3 plus amps.... 10K.....
But I'm sure they are fantastic!

Maybe in March if all works out. Then you can tell your customers what real speakers sound like. (:

The LFR1100s, M100s, M5s and QS10s come with HP drivers. I have an HP driver and a v4 tweeter adorning my coffee table and I pay homage to them daily.

If you are crossing at 80hz check out the song The Hills-The Weeknd at reference
70hz to 46hz and repeat. Chest to gut rotation.

That's a very cool effect. I tried it in the living room where I have the M5s and the Yammie sub set up. Now all my stuff on the wall is on the floor and my ears are fried. I don't dare try it with the 800.

Well...couldn't resist. I played this on the 800 which is in my main system. I just couldn't take it up to reference level because it was too loud and started making me nauseous. All I heard was tight, smooth bass and, as usual, I couldn't localize the 800. All my stuff downstairs stayed put because it's glued to the wall but upstairs didn't fare so well. I need to screw everything down on my Weapons Wall.
