I'll start seeing as I ordered an LFM-1 Plus in the HE Show Combo Special. Are these available yet? When do we anticipate shipping?

Looking forward to being one of the first!

They're on the order page with no note about pre-order or reservation, so I think they're ready to ship.

I am very happy with my LFM-1 but, this is very intriguing. I wonder how much different it really sounds. I like the port plugging idea and the sound of 18hz..damn addiction.

Now that the new Combos are up, I'm going to be ordering the 990/7125/LFM-1Plus this week.
I'd rather go with the 990/7700/LFM-1Plus but it is $1K more.

Interesting! I wonder if the configuration of ports is the same. If so, can the port plug be used in an older LFM-1 and also achieve the 18Hz response?

It should have some impact, but I'm not sure what the switch on the LFM-1 Plus's amp is doing - there's something being done to the signal (EQ? - I don't know) that's intended to work in conjunction with the port plug.

Thanks Gonk!

I noticed the EQ listed but not really described. The difference in wattage seems so minimal it should not even be a concern. I wonder if they will sell the port plugs separately as I would be curious as to the sound even without the EQ. They could even offer a way to upgrade the LFM-1 to the Plus model as well (trading out the amp section if this is the only difference).

I ordered my 990/7125/LFM-1Plus combo on Monday.
Hope to get it here next week.

I ordered the LFM-1 Plus/SMS-1 Combo on 6/7 and haven't heard a thing other than a reply from Jennifer of Outlaw regarding the shipment requiring a signature!! No ship notice or tracking number yet.

Perhaps Scott or someone else could delineate the differences between the LFM-1 and LFM-1-plus? Or maybe the marketing copy could be expanded a bit more? Other than the addition of a port plug and a few percent increase in amplifier output, it appears to be the same design. Perhaps a retro-fit kit for existing LFM-1 customers would be possible?

Given the close similarity in price and features of the LFM-1 and LFM-1-plus, one has to wonder if the LFM-1 is going to remain on the menu for much longer.

Cheers,

I got an E-Mail today with the three tracking numbers. I placed the order on Monday and it was shipped on Tuesday via FedEx ground.
They should be here by next monday.

Cool deal. Did you see in this thread that I'd posted a few pictures (courtesy of edcon) of the 7125 with the cover off? Edcon thought you might like them since you'd asked about them in that thread.
