Know before you buy
Unlike traditional speakers that fire sound forward, the LFR880HP uses a unique driver configuration to radiate sound in multiple directions. This creates a larger, more immersive soundstage that mimics the way sound behaves in a live performance space.
The LFR880HP is quite versatile and can be powered by amplifiers ranging from 10 to 1600 Watts. Because they have a 4-Ohm impedance, ensure your amplifier is stable at that load to get the best performance.
While many omnidirectional speakers can sound diffuse, the LFR880HP is specifically engineered to maintain precise imaging. You get the expansive, deep soundstage of a bipole speaker without sacrificing the ability to pinpoint where instruments are located in the mix.
At 53.5 inches tall and weighing 90 pounds, these are substantial speakers that require adequate floor space to breathe. While they perform well in various environments, they are best suited for medium to large rooms where their omnidirectional output can fully develop.
The heavy-duty woofers, combined with the Triple Vortex/Reflex enclosure, allow these speakers to reach down to 30 Hz. This provides a robust, authoritative low-end that is tight and well-defined rather than boomy.
They are excellent for both. Their wide dispersion pattern makes them particularly effective for home theater, as they create a more enveloping surround experience that fills the room more evenly than traditional directional speakers.
