Recently moved, had me replacing them with something more “great room” appropriate wife acceptance. At three times the value, I still miss my LFT-8b. If you have the room they are exceptional even with modestly priced gear. As once quoted, “you rock Bruce”. CG
Excellent! I too drive my pair of LFT-8b's with tubes. In my room I am able to have the speakers five feet from the wall behind them (which is treated with Vicoustic Multifuser DC3's), and eight feet from my listening position. Like you I have the tweeters on the inside. The LFT-8b is one of hi-fi's greatest bargains.
