You’re correct @aniwolfe, Steve didn’t mention just how wideband the midrange driver is: it does 180Hz up to 10kHz, crossover free within it's bandpass! For a small room the 16a would be a nice choice, though you still need some space between it and the wall behind it.
A good suggestion @decooney. I can recommend both the RM-9 Mk.2 and RM-200 Mk.2 Music Reference amps, which put out 125w/100w (respectively) into 8 ohms. If you bi-amp (the dual binding posts make that fairly easy)---with a tube amp on the panel (the m/t panel presents an 11 ohm load to the amp) and a 100w ss (it need not be expensive, just good) on the woofer, that is probably all you need for just about any size room, program material, and listening level.
You will be rewarded with a loudspeaker in the same league as many ESL’s in terms of transparency, but with greater maximum volume (I also own the Quad ESL), besting all the Maggies except that company’s fantastic ribbon tweeter (contained in the Tympani T-IVa, and current MG3.7i, 20.7i, and 30.7). Ans without the Maggies’ lack of dynamics and resolution at low listening levels.
For dipole planar lovers, it’s a heck of a loudspeaker package! That it has remained such a well-kept secret for so long has been a mystery to me for years. Another factor that led me investigate the LFT-8b was reading what Harry Weisfeld of VPI had to say about; he said he considered it’s midrange reproduction the best he had ever heard, from any loudspeaker, at any price. I don’t know if I’d go THAT far. ;-)
