Eminent Technology LFT 7 !!


Not a missprint!  LFT 7 was the LFT 6 with additional bass panels. The bass panels had 3 bass drivers per panel.  4 panels total.  Would like to hear them or purchase them.

Reaching out to current Eminent Technology LFT6 or 7 owners. 

Also, anyone that has dual LFT8s per side 

 

When running dual LFT-8’s, the tweeter on one of the two speakers (per side) should be disconnected, to prevent comb filtering. The tweeter operates from 10kHz up, with a 1st-order high pass filter (and the midrange panel a 1st-order low pass at the same 10k). The wavelength at 10k is only 1.35 inches, much larger than the distance between the tweeters in two LFT-8’s placed side-by-side. A pair of stacked LFT-8’s is an interesting proposition, one on top of another rather than side-by side.

I have a pair of LFT-4’s, the half-sized LFT-6. And a pair of LFT-8b’s. I’d trade my two sisters for a pair of LFT-6’s.smiley

 

 

Actually, I should have said "to minimize the degree of comb filtering created" rather than "to prevent comb filtering." And then place the second panel with the midrange driver up against the side of the first pair on which is located its tweeter. That will create a sort of coaxial driver, in the horizontal plane at least.

 

Owned the ET LFT-8b for 15 year, upgraded the base driver then the tweeters to get to a level b.  Bruce made it easy and economical for Eminent Technology owners to upgrade.  Super nice guy, always gracious with his phone time.  Never got to the C version, not my cup of tea but if he were to return to an updated 6, I might be interested.  But in the end give me a fully restored LFT-3 and call me golden.
