RE: Active bi-amping of ET LFT-8b

Dave, it sounds like you might have preferred the earlier "a" version of the LFT-8, with the original tweeter. Some were complaining that even with a maximum output connection the LFT-8a had too soft a high end. With my high-frequency hearing loss (that's what playing drums for fifty years will get ya, along with tinnitus) I barely need the tweeter at all!

Satie, the LFT-8 midrange driver is around 42" tall. I don't recall how long the T-IV tweeter is---I'll see how the two line up when I get them set up next to each other. But your NEO 8 conversion appears to have advantages over the magnetic-planar driver, from what you and Guitar Slim say. Higher efficiency is nice, but I'm interested in the dynamic and low-volume resolution capabilities of the NEO line. By the way, I have my GR Research OB/Dipoles in W-frames at the moment, but have a pair of H-frames I need to build out soon to move them into. The H are much more robust, being CNC cut from 1.5" MDF! Comparing them to the T-IV bass panels is going to be very interesting. Whichever wins will be relieved of reproducing the bottom octave by a pair of Rythmik F15's.

Thanks to both of you, I really appreciate your advice!
