LFM-1 Feedback - 10/31/05 10:27 AM

I am trying to decide between a sub that I would like to purchase in a couple of months. I was hoping that current owners might chime in with their thoughts and experiences on the LFM-1 and its pro's and cons. I have read gonk's excellent review and hoped to hear from others as well.

For me:

Room 11x14x10 (temporary location, final 14x15x10)
wood floors with large area rug
Current sub is original Klipsch sw-10 (1994) not much boom but fairly quick response.

Other subs wanting to evaluate: Outlaw LFM-1, Hsu VTF-3 mkII, SVS pb12-isd/v and Rocket UFW-10

My other equipment in the chain for the possible subwoofer:

Outlaw 950
Acurus A250
Acurus 200x3
Klipsch KG-line speakers

I used to own Klipsch SW12 (sold recently). Have three subwoofers now including LFM1. Compare to SW12, LFM1 is much more tight controlled bass with less boominess. You will definitely feel the impact with this upgrade. Although I have not heard Hsu and Rocket subs but they all have excellent user reviews through out the forums. With proper placement, LFM1 is more than enough to satisfy bass need in small to medium size room and you can always add another LFM1 (or any other subs) if your room requires additional bass peformance. My experience with Outlaw customer service is second to none. Good luck with your purchase.

smile Thanks for your response. I believe that I'm going to audition the LFM-1, maybe two. Good to get your input, especially since you have moved from a Klipsch sub. If and when I purchase I'll be sure to give my review.
