Was fortunate to obtain a pair of mint LFM SE's from a very nice fellow Audiocircle member to pair with my ACI Jaguar LE's.
Has been kind of my dream speaker setup for a couple years and was very lucky this all worked out.
A few initial comments and a couple questions for Mike or Eric or anyone else who has the LFM's.
-The LFM's are heavy. Really heavy. All of 120+ lbs each. These are total beasts.
-Build quality is immaculate.
-Out of box the sound is very very clean, but slightly leaner than the pair of Titans I had previously.
-Has improved overall soundstage clarity and depth.
-They look pretty nice with the Jaguars on top even though the wood finishes are different and the LFM's are silver and the Jaguars are black.
-The two lowpass filters on the amp are an excellent design.
Questions.
I have to break in by playing at low to moderate volume. Will this slow down the break in process?
I have only had them setup since this morning. Is the amp INPUT gain scheme calibrated a lot different than the original Titans?
I could never set that over 1/4th. I have the LFM's at 1/2 for starters. They do not stick out and the bass is not localized so I am in the ballpark for starters I think.
I know I need to play around with Input gain and lowpass cutoff, and phase to dial them in better, but was curious about that.
Does placement effect bass output since they are front firing? I have them 5' into the room and 3.5'-4' from sides with the Jaguars on top.
I used to have the Titans near the Jaguars, but as I moved the Titans toward the corners bass output increased of course.
Just never have had front firing subs.
I do have significant bass trapping in corners which really cleaned up and extended the Titans before.
Sorry for all the questions-just wanted a little input if possible about what to expect and any tips on setup or settings.
Thanks for any feedback from members.
Will post picture later tonight.
