M6 Driver Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I'm looking into getting an LF-10 in the near future for the exceptions of possible air leaks anything else I should be concerned about and were the air leaks audible once you got in running figure at the store I can check that out as well what does the LF-10 compare to in the past and current klipsch line up as well others out there in subland! as well should be paying $400 to 500 for the unit Edit: I failed to mention I use a Battery of KLF 30's for by rig. ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J This message has been edited by JTS8 on 03-28-2002 at 08:22 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 The LH-10 is a very nice, musical sub if you get one without problems. Although if you do have problems, Klipsch will stand behind them, if you're buying them from an authorized dealer. At $500. or less they are a very good buy. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6 Driver Posted March 29, 2002 Author Share Posted March 29, 2002 yep I'll be buying from my local Klipsch dealer so not worried abit about warranty stuff I hear a lot of folks here talk about subs that are musical and subs that are more geared to home theater so please define I enjoy the low end to a point but don't what myself or my guests to lose bowl control with very very low LF so please more input ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 JTS8 - What is your typical listening mix, HT versus music? That may guide your decision. Musical subs are designed to respond very quickly - fast accelaration and fast braking. To achieve that, they sometimes have to give up impact, which is what HT is really all about. Think of the analogy of a Ferrari (musical) versus a Bentley Azure -- the Bentley has more impact when it hits! (OK, so I'm not the King of Analogies, but you get the idea.)

M6 Driver Posted March 29, 2002 Author Share Posted March 29, 2002 DOUGDRAKE, I figure it's 60/40 with home theater being the priority. Your analogy works for me as well I'd hate to be the Ferrari when the Azure plows into it! (More Physics applied) So please more input. ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 J - I assume when you say you don't want your guests to "lose bowl control," you don't want them spilling their popcorn bowl all over the rug when the depth charges go off, right? You are seeking the nirvana we are all after, musical and with slam, too. You approach that in very expensive subs. TheEAR would be a good reference for the types of subs that would fill that niche. In my case, I've compared a 15" servo Velodyne sub (a 98lb beast) with a SVS 20-39 (maybe 45 lbs?). I found the Velo to be musical, but a bit restrained in the HT arena due to the servo pulling in the reigns (no distortion, at any cost). It could definitely go low (I measured over 80db at 10hz). I wound up choosing the SVS because it just seemed to have more impact, while retaining enough agility to be musical, too, due to its design which lets it leverage natural physics via its tube design. All said, I'd take either the Velo or the SVS if the price was the same, but we're talking a difference of about $1300!! Maybe some of you LF-10 owners could chime in with your experiences?

Deang Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 I like mine -- so far so good It's a kick *** HT sub and I use it to reinforce the bottom of my RF7's when listening to music it's not muddy sounding -- nice punchy SOB it is Depending on how big your room is -- you might consider getting two ------------------ dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6 Driver Posted March 30, 2002 Author Share Posted March 30, 2002 22ft by 14ft with 9ft ceiling think this might call for 2 LF-10's or others out there. anybody out here fool with the Bag End Infra something 18? also thanks all for the input folks! as all ways more I can learn the better! ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 The LF-10 has a switch that will add a 3db boast for the LFEs in movies. It packs a punch but not an overly extreme one and does well on music. Try one and, if necessary, get another (assuming they are available). Or even better, ask the dealer if you could take home two and return one if one is enough. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
