Lichtlaerm Audios' new Speaker SLAYS - LCFR 150 vs Celestion Vintage 30
Рет қаралды 6,514
4 ай бұрынI got the opportunity to check out Lichtlaerm Audios new speaker that they developed together with Fane for their cabs for their brand new amp called Prometheus. The Speaker is called LCFR-150 and you guessed it. It handles an impressive 150 watts, has an 8 Ohm impedance rating and as resonance frequency of 65 Hz. I was not disappointed.

I feel like the V30 really does have something special, but it's only in the mids. The highs were always fizzy and "closed" sounding. The Lichtlaern sounds like the "V30 but fixed" thing that everyone dreams of. The HESU Demon is another one of those.

Great job as always, John! You should have at least 10x the subscribers you do now. I like this speaker. It seems that the majority of V30 alternatives all focus on smoothing out the upper mid hump and by doing so end up sharing a similar, softer attack. I wonder how the Lichtlaerm (Warehouse, Mojotone, etc.) cut through after they break in themselves. As much as I've moved away from the V30, it's still a necessary evil outside the bedroom, though I have regulated them to the bottom of my 4x12's and vertical 2x12's (mixed with a variety of other speakers on top). Thanks for sharing your hard work with us!

Great comparison, as usual!!! A lot of effort and thoughts put into these videos. I played the IRs a bit and to me, the LCFR-150 sounds very 90s metal-like. There is a certain grittiness and nastiness in the mids, that i like. It also reacts quick to palm muting over my Diezel VH4. I like it a lot and am curios about the price tag. I would like to see a shootout againt the Eminence Governor, which i also like, in the IRs at least. ;-)

I have a 4x12 with V30s to go with my Mesa amp, so really wanted some variety for one thing, and getting a matching cab to go with the new amp is hard to pass up. Gonna have to wait another month or so on the cab, but I'm excited. Sounded great in this demo, more balanced than the V30 which can definitely get a little shrill at times. I also thought on the clean channel it sounded much more to my taste, I've always had trouble getting my kind of clean tone through my V30 cab.

The LCFR-150 sounds great. Not aggressive as the V30, a noticably less fizzy in the highs, but maybe overall a more pleasing sound? I still think I prefer the aggression of the V30, but there's also a reason why I'm gravitating more and more towards pairing it with other speakers, like the Creamback G12H-75. I'm getting old, John. That's the reason. There's no other excuse. I look forward to messing around with the IRs you provided.

I don’t have a good monitoring environment for final judgement, but this speaker kind of sounds like a T75 if it didn’t suck and was way more musical. Bit broader in the harmonics, and less focused than the V30. I feel like this could make it more open to tone sculpting, which means it fits the amp it was designed for as it’s a bit of a tweaker’s amp.

The LCFR has a lot of 7-10k content which adds a lot fizz, where the V30 has a steep rolloff from like 5-6k. The LCFR also has less 2.5-6k than the V30 so it has less cut in a mix. So basically these two speakers seem to have the complete opposite high end from each other. I would personally not use the LCFR on its own.

Fane produces some great stuff, this speaker is very similar to ideal metal sound that I have in my head.., reminded me governor a bit, maybe less raw and more refined and precise than Eminence(kinda like different types of beef stake: Rare(Governor) Medium (LCFR) Over cooked(V30). the fact that it handles 150 watt, and lightweight, is really impressive. I think Celestion V type has similar vibe and also lightweight. I can clearly see why you like it. BTW what's up with that FL cab behind you? Did you buy Diezel cab or it's ENGL? Edit. I really like speaker, went back and compared it to your governor video. Like them both equally, I guess depending on amp, cleaner refined amp+cab(Diezel , Mesa Mark Fryette) I would prefer Governor, for more dirty amps like Marshall, Bogner Ubershall I would prefer cleaner LCFR, for Rectifier and 5150, I guess classic combination of Mesa cab with V30

@@lichtlaermaudio would you be able to post the thiele-small parameters of the speaker, please? At least the more basic info like sensitivity, etc. At least the sensitivity, which is important to know when mixing speakers, so how close is LCFR to the v30 sensitivity? Appreciated!!

What is the song/riff from around 17:00-18:00?
@TheOtherJohnBrowne Күн бұрын
That's a song I wrote for my band at the time that had the working title "13 Nipples". I give the most ridiculous working titles I can think of as I tend to remember the songs better that way and around the time of writing this I had heard that Opossums have 13 nipples.

are you a native german speaker? because of the way you pronounce lichtlärm. anyways, i wonder how the LCFR would sound in a front loaded 4x12 cab x-pattern with 2 Celestion K100 speakers. daniel told me in a answer to a comment that he dislikes frontloaded cabs, despite that i think this speaker might be good for front loaded.
@TheOtherJohnBrowne 3 ай бұрын
Almost. I've been speaking German since I was a child, so close enough. I have no doubts this speaker would do well in a frontloaded cab too. I may chuck it in my Engl 4x12 to hear for myself. Recently though, I am liking rear loaded cabs more than front loaded ones too

@@TheOtherJohnBrowne oh that's cool, i grew up bilingual too, and learned english later in school. i'd like to use th speaker in my front loaded Diezel cab, but i also have 2 rear loaded marshall cabs, an angled one with v30s, i don't know the manufacturing date of, and a straight one with T75s from 1983. might be interesting either cross pattern in the diezel with the K100s or in the angled marshall with the v30s.

@@TheOtherJohnBrowne I should add. Considering these were made by Fane (which are famous for the Hiwatt tone), using the Hiwatt Fane Purpleback 150W speakers may be an interesting pair with it as well...or even using a Hiwatt Amp with the LCFR-150 with some pedals, you may have some fun with it. Russian Circles use Hiwatt for their Doom/Shoegaze/Black Metal tone they have. I am personally a fan of Fane speakers and a massive lover of Hiwatt (dream Amp is a DR103). Great video btw
