The 2012 LFA's audio system is comprised of large 7 x 10 in. extended-range woofers with ultra-rigid carbon-fiber cones, high-efficiency, low-directivity compression horn loaded tweeters, and directivity controlled 3.5 in. midrange speakers. The system is powered with the same technology used in Harman's amplifiers and Lexicon's new DD-8 multi-room amplifier. The eco-friendly technology reduces power consumption and heat generation while also delivering up to reportedly 1,002 watts of total power.

The extreme performance of the 552-horsepower LFA presented some unique challenges to Mark Levinson audio engineers including the demand for amplification that was small, cool, and lightweight yet powerful and efficient. Those same attributes translate to the home in products that take up less space and generate less heat while still delivering audiophile-grade sound quality with significantly reduced power consumption.
