Yeah, Rich, I am image obsessed for sure. Not sure about SPL-starved but I have noticed some of the very well-recorded jazz and brass pieces I listen to need a lower (quiet) level of 85dBC at my 12 foot listening position. These same pieces have peaks of an additional 20dBC. To hit 105dBC at a 12 foot distance requires a lot of peak power with an electrodynamic speaker like the Axioms as I've reported before and many of us know.
Besides being able to hit the peaks accurately, great imaging also requires detail through a high resolution Family of Curves, precision and accuracy in processing and amplification and "low" noise. These three things lead to separation, or a blackness, between the images. The precision and accuracy and low noise is very, very difficult to achieve. Axiom has made a great start with pre-amplification digital filtering but I suspect this is certainly not the end. We might think that every enhancement from now on is a refinement but so is getting a new eyeglass prescription every couple of years. Look at the difference those new glasses make!

I had a 9 hour day at the dealership plus a killer workout at the gym this morning - got in at 8:30 and spent an hour listening to a wonderful CD of Acoustic Guitar. These speakers bring the live feel to guitars. My son plays and teaches guitar, so I get to hear a lot live. It was a terrific decompression!

Isn't that dealership running itself yet?
When you feel more acquainted with them, let us know what happens between the notes and in betwixt the images? Do you hear silence and "see" blackness? If you close your eyes, do you eerily feel the images there, existing with you, aetherially?

As I've said a few times, I experience this with the M5s. I have not been able to replicate it with the M50, M3 or M100. I expect the active M5s will make this effect much sharper than what it is now.

Just finished the SACD of Dark Side of the Moon. These speakers are ruthless - they reveal just how old this recording is. In contrast to the Masters of Acoustic guitar, Dark Side lacks the depth and purity in the recording.
And that brings me to a new level in reviewing: This is the first pair of speakers that has me reviewing the disc instead of the speakers.

P.S. the LFR active were created for the SPL starved, image obsessed, audio nut ... Anyone come to mind? Yeah, I should probably send my LFR1100's to Mojo. I have a small living room, mostly windows and masonry heater, and (as of this evening) a truck full of LFR1100 actives to fit in there somewhere. I'm not even totally sure where the amps and DSPs will go, let alone the speakers, and I don't play music all that loud. But dammit, I'm looking forward to this. I haven't had a tri-amped system for almost 40 years and that's just too long.
