Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Just Ordered LFR660s!

Anyone have the LFR 660s? I just put my order in and am pumped! Lots of glowing reviews of 1100s but haven't seen much on the 660s, moving on up from the M5s which were a really great little speaker. Excited to hear what this Omni is all about!

Can't provide feedback but I'm sure they will Rock!

Mine just shipped. I'm sure they'll be tied up in customs for a week or so; but we can compare notes soon!

Great choice! I have no doubt in a head-to-head listening test, the LFR660 would win out over the M100. They will also integrate better in the majority of rooms.

Oh nice Cork! I'll be very interested to hear your opinion while I'm anxiously awaiting mine! What finish did you go with and what are you upgrading from?

Hi Mojo,

Always appreciate your feedback! I hope they would win over the M100's, I know they're not the 1100s but Axiom assured me they were similar sonically with the obvious reduced bass response and reduced overall output. I will have them paired with a Rhythmik E15 that's currently crossed at +/- 50 with the M5s. A buddy came over to listen a couple of weeks ago and said "holy shit it's like a wave of bass washing over me and I can actually hear & feel the roll of the drum stick on the drum head. Hey where is your sub btw?" haha which I took as a sign of good integration. So I'm hoping these will play nice together as well since the freq response is very similar. The overall goals were much better off axis soundstage, because of how my room is set up there is only one sweet spot and generally better immersion. Several times with the M5s, with my eyes closed mostly on well recorded live tracks, I would be weirded out because it sounded like the performance was literally in my listening room. That x10 is what I'm hoping for haha.

I did consider the refub 1100s in the deals store but with other projects these were a much more palatable purchase and I usually listen and very much enjoy at about 80db, stupid neighbors, so it seemed like the 660 was the best choice for that toe in the water of the DSP tech.

Are these 660s for your cabin? Still sitting about 8 feet away? The 660s might feel like you're sitting amongst the band.

I think the bass integration may be better in your room with 660s vs M5s. When I had my actives in my living room, which is about the same size as your space, the bass could not possibly have been any better!

Ahh haaaa now that's what I was hoping to hear! I was a little nervous to go down to the 660 since the 1100s have such glowing reviews and almost nothing on 660s which makes sense considering how much more output the 1100s can produce.

Yes these are for at the cabin, have gone full crazy since Dec when I was first setting the system up. I find now that I've gotten the M5s and the room set up and imaging so well that at night I enjoy listening to music so much a whole weekend will go by without even turning on the TV. I think with these since they will need to be off the back wall a little more I will end up at about 6.5-7' MLP and about the same +/- 7' apart.

Yes, I think you will be in the middle of the action. BTW, the last two weeks, I've been using the TV only for YouTube Music.

Went with Cherry-Bordeaux; which came out perfect. I'm upgrading from 28 years of my wife saying no to speakers in the living room. I have M5/M2s in my study and family room, both of which I love; so I'm expecting a nice improvement over those.
I also got the M80s, and I'm going to compare and keep the pair I like best. The M80s got set up last week, and they are awesome in the mid and high end; but lacking in the low end (no sub). But I'm 90% sure that was because I was using a very old 8 ohm Onkyo amp that I had stashed in the garage for 10 years.
The end-game amp is coming with the LFR660; so that'll be the real test.

Anyway, at 8 feet away I'd think the LFRs would be a better choice than the M100s. I was a little worried about the M80s 11 feet away, and I do think they're bordering on overkill. (So Mojo you were right.)
