RE: Eminent Tech LFT-8b vs LFT-16a

Posted by Mr_bill2 on January 9, 2017 at 07:53:45:
Hey Davey,
Just curious as to if you enjoy the lft8s with the tweeters set on hi or med output? I only ask because I've never really considered the 8s as "laid back", but then again I do run them on the high setting. Middle just seems to take to much sparkle away, though this setting on the wrong recording can making for an unenjoyable listening experience. - thanks, Bill

OP,
I've heard the 16s, they are very good but are best used as you would any monitor speaker. The 8s need space to breath and produce a much larger sound stage. That said, if you can get away with the 8s, those are the ones to have imho. The 16s are a good second but at that price point there are other options for a monitor speaker.

The ET8 are really a price point killer, but equipment & set up needs will play a big part of what you get out of them.
