Utley, that is another advantage of the LFT. The vapor-deposited conductive element does NOT exhibit the delamination the Maggie conductive wires do. None. Or any other problems. The driver has been in production for over 30 years, with not a single change!

The LFT-8b has about the same sensitivity as the smaller Maggies (lower-to-mid 80's), but is an easy 8 ohm load. The LFT driver itself is an almost perfect 11 ohm resistive load, great for tube amps. That allows the LFT-8b to be used with two moderately-powered amps, tube for the panels, SS for the woofer. The 8" woofer integrates very well with the panels, unusual for a hybrid. It also produces much lower in frequency (and output) bass reproduction than do the smaller Maggies.

The LFT-8b has received raves in the UK press, and from Robert Greene in TAS. VPI's Harry Weisfeld said it has the best midrange of any loudspeaker he has ever heard, regardless of price. A ridiculous bargain at $2499/pr. There are very few ET dealers, but Bruce offers a money-back trial audition for factory-direct purchases.
