Stereophile has posted a review of the Eminent Technology LFT-16 bookshelf speakers ($950/pair). These have “retro-technoid looks” (photo) and consist of a “push-pull planar-magnetic tweeter and midrange unit” and a “6” plastic-cone woofer.”
Reviewer John Marks compared them to the Renaissance MLP-403.5 ($1,090/pair) and had this to say on the differences:
The Renaissance’s sound is a touch darker and definitely weightier. The LFT-16 has more clarity in the midrange and treble, and overall a brighter, faster, slightly lighter sound.
On balance, John concluded:
The Eminent Technology LFT-16 is a quirky but high-value loudspeaker: $$$ for outstanding value.
