Craig, for your actives. Patricia Barber, Black Magic Woman. A dynamic range masterpiece!

Mojo - Thanks for the link. Things have been insane at the dealership lately, and I have a business conference to attend this weekend, plus planning for a factory sponsored Black Friday 10 day sale starting the 15th.

I am HOPING things settle down soon - my schedule has been pretty much wake, work, go to gym, watch a movie (on the M!00's and VP180 HP) and go to bed.

Craig, according to the passive LFR manual, given the distance of your LFRs from the front wall, the BGC switch should be in position "far 2". Of course this is very room-dependant.

Tonight, we finished a 9 day sale at the dealership. We sold 43 vehicles in 9 days. It was tiring, but awesome!

So ....... after a well earned nap, we watched "Hunter Killer" starring Gerard Butler. It has some AMAZING bass! The entire house was shaking. The best part was when my son asked how a subwoofer could make the room shake like that.

The subwoofer isn't in in the mix. These actives are something special.

I suppose 43 vehicles in 9 days is a lot? I don't know...just asking.

That was a great show. What other speakers were in play? Could you do without a centre? Did you miss the 800?

We usually average 70 vehicles per month - so yes, 43 is good for us in 9 days.

There is no center channel, nor any subwoofer. We are missing that pulsing one feels in the chest with the EP800's, but the bass of the actives is remarkable - MUCH more palpable than the M100's or LFR-1100 actives.

Movies are great in the 2 channel set up. I am actively looking into some high end, 2 channel preamps to put in the system. Bryston, Black Ice and Audio by Van Alstine are in the mix.

You mean LFR-1100 passives.

Wow. Some may not need subs or surrounds for movies.

Everything is remarkable but of course the bass is very evident. As I've said, the twin 500s are useless for 2-channel music in my living room.

Mojo - Yes, I meant LFR-1100 Passives. My mind is pretty mushy today. On top of all the stuff at the store, I have been involved in another project that is quite large. Since before October 20, when my daughter got married until now, my average week has been about 90 hours with this other project.

I am WAY too old for this. laugh

I am watching Gladiator now in two channel on the actives. The depth of the sound effects is amazing. Maximus is addressing his troops in the prison right before the coup, and one got the echo effect of the stone walls as one would hear live.

Quality drivers, no crossover and plenty of power.

Craig, I haven't slept or eaten since I got the actives. I've just been listening. Thank goodness my buddy came over and fed me pizza.

Today is a much appreciated day of relaxing. One of the aspects of the LFR-1100 actives is how versatile they are.

Earlier today, I fired up the SACD of Roger Water's "In The Flesh." The stage was immense, the bass deep, the performers well placed and detail incredible. For example, the grunge sound on the rhythm guitar is so well contrasted against the soaring vocals of the female vocalist that one can almost smell the cannabis in the building.

Then I was switching through movies on Spectrum Cable, and XXX Two: The Return of Xander Cage was on. Ok - it's a guilty pleasure nonsense movie, but that also means all sorts of audio treats.

And the actives are kicking butt - the bass lines from the various hip hop "artists" are palpable. Bombs have an impact that makes one wonder if a subwoofer is needed.

Then our hero is talking to the fake blonde in a church. The echo effect that one gets when talking in a large, empty church is all around you.

These speakers can do almost anything. And they do everything well.

What would I change? I would love a version of these speakers in a large enough cabinet to handle triples of the 8 inch woofers used in the big Brystons. Tune it to about 28 Hz.

But, then, the EP800 does all this and more for bass, and I would imagine the cost difference in the speakers would be more than the price increase would be for the larger cabinets and woofers.

No - don't change a thing.
