I have the face of each speaker on the same plane as the other. No toe in. I tend to find many on this website like beating up their Maggies an or other planars with excessive drive where as with these they do not require this. I admit wattage up to a certain point will help these bloom in the mid panel , however it is not required to get the true qualities these present. I had at one time had these on a long wall and want to again ( living arrangements), as they really seem to open up a very large sound stage that I have as of yet have found any where else. ( it seems much of the sound of many planars remains on the panels , IE localization ). I think the big thing most miss , and it is sad is how realistic these can sound. In the room realism is what I look for not excessive volume or theatrics . Some Jazz or small groups pieces work well with these as many others styles of music. Not excessive in the treble or calling attention to themselves , just presenting what went on in the studio....

What do you fellas think of the bass performance of the ET-LFT8 speakers??
Dave.
8 inch woofer in a sealed box. Tuneful & tight, and never in the way, is the best way I can describe it. ET claims down to 25 Hz in room response. Don't think I've ever measured that but it's close.
ET says...The low frequency woofer was carefully designed to blend seamlessly with the mid-range and high-frequency drivers. The design uses a very low crossover frequency (180Hz) between the woofer and midrange. The woofer has a very high complince and operates with a near critically damped system Q of .58. This tuning insures excellent transient response.
