Completely different approach and overall sound, with some common characteristics.
My observations are below

ELS63 vs LFT-VIII

Differences:

Smoother - Neutral
Top end subjectively reticent - more prominent
No low bass - goes quite deep
Limited maximum SPL - can play quite loud
Slightly easier to drive - needs slightly more power
Narrow sweet spot - not that narrow sweet spot
Maintenance relatively expensive - practically no maintenance
Fairly expensive - fairly cheap
More cohesive - less cohesive from bass to low mid-range.
Need quite a space behind to work - need less space


Common points

Both have quick natural instrument attack
Both are very coherent speakers particularly from low mid-range up
Both are very musical/engaging speakers.
Both work best with tube amps
Both need some space around
