I have been considering KEF LS50s as well. That price is outstanding. The KEF LS50 is on my short list or an upgrade on my Audioengines, which also includes the Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2, B&W 705s2, SF Venere 2.0. I am leaning toward the Ascend Acoustics. Does anyone know how the KEF compares to the others?
The price is definitely right on the KEFs. They each definitely have their own aesthetics. I listen in a medium sized office/study that will not tolerate floor standers. I use an REL Tzero sub which will handle the low end in a small space, that I am pleased with. Best, Shrinky

The KEF LS50 caught my attention a while back and there were some pretty bold statements such as:
"Conclusion 1: The Schiit Audio Ragnarok plus KEF LS50s ($1299) is the most enjoyable stereo system I've used in the 21st century." Read more at https://www.stereophile.com/content/...XXOFMyTw2fB.99 "Summing Up It is rare to find a loudspeaker that offers this combination of clarity and neutrality. For KEF's LS50 Anniversary Model to do so for a penny under $1500/pair makes it even more remarkable. This thoroughbred both shows a clean pair of heels to the venerable LS3/5a and, within its limits of dynamic range and bass extension, will provide Class A sound for those with small rooms. Recommended.

Thanks guys but I have seen a few of his videos and I’m not so sure I trust his opinion.

I personally would not be interested in the wireless version and seems the reviewer was not thrilled with a few features of the wireless version so I thought I'd share the video.

To be honest I think KEF’s choice of calling this speaker “wireless” is actually and bad naming. It has several wires that must be connected to one of the speakers.
I do see it being nice for the user that doesn’t want all the “boxes” of amps and dacs and such. And PHC1 I’m like you I think I would lean more to the standard LS50 giving the price difference with the current sale. |
