Guys ... let's talk the relative performance of the passive and active LFR-1100'S. guess that you kind of like them then That's a pretty safe statement. There is one caveat - these speakers are ACCURATE. There is no subtle bass boost nor added warmth. They really will put the performance from whatever media you are using with an extremely high level of accuracy. They are, on the other hand, never harsh. For example, the Infinity IRS-Sigmas ($10,000 per pair 15 years ago and needing a MASSIVE amp) would get harsh at levels that the 1100 Actives think is an easy delivery in terms of SPL. You are going to LOVE the dynamics from these guys. Music recordings of unamplified music will make you want to listen for hours.

Rich, he said 1000-5. You may be dreaming of 1500-5. LOL!

Mojo is right - I typed 1000-5. Another way of looking at it ... fully active, powered Active 1100's can start at:
$8760 for a pair with two ADA-1000-5's ... and go all the way to: $27,300 for a pair with 10 ADA-1500-1's (I think it's $27,300 - $5700 for the speakers and $21,600 for the amps)

Craig, can you give us any idea of where your Marantz's gain is set to and what peak SPL is being achieved?

Mojo - I am not taking any measurements at this time. If you read most in depth reviews, measurements are done at the completion of the review. My basic plan is to play with the speakers until mid November, then do some serious listening for a couple of months. By early February, a full review will be posted. I have the same measurement system that Kal Rubinson uses at Stereophile, so look for a REAL batter of measurements at that time.

Here is a pair in High Gloss white with the two ADA1500-1 and four ADA1500-2. I really don't understand the power requirements or capabilities of the active LFR1100. The 1500-1, used for the woofer array, is capable of 4500 dynamic Watts. Presumably the woofer array handles this peak power without compression. If so, the musical power tweeters would see is no more than 10% of that peak or 450W and the mid-woofers 30% or 1350W. The 1000-1 is capable of 3000W. What then is the purpose of the 1500-1 for the mids and highs? The only advantage I can see is improved S/N.

In reviewing Ian's post again, I see it's the 1500-2 being used for mids and highs. The 1500-2 allows for 2250 dynamic Watts for each mid-woofer and tweeter array. I can't see why so much power is required given the 450W and 1350W figures from my previous post. This is particularly confusing given the active LFR1100 is specified for 4400 peak Watts.
