Eminent Technology LFT-8b

Posted by JohnnyTee on January 10, 2012 at 09:26:36:
I had the chance to listen to the LFT-8b's last week. I was hoping to be impressed but I felt as though they were a little veiled. I want to replace my MG-IIIA's but when I played them with the same discs upon returning home I felt they sounded larger and more transparent (of course they are larger and have a larger radiating surface area) than the 8b's.
I was hoping to be swayed to the 8b's because I want something new and I like the push-pull design philosophy along with the 8" 25hz woofer capability but I'm not sure. I am attributing some of the disappointment to the room (carpet) and the volume (moderate) they were played at. The amps were mono block solid state at 150w/ch. I am using a Moscode 600, 300w/ch with the MG-IIIA's.
Maybe someone can sway me? I think we purchase audio many times by the hype of reviewers.

Thanks, JohnnyTee
