I had Tannoy X8Tfs paired with Rogue (RP7+ Stereo 100) for a couple years or so, and really enjoyed the pairing. The Tannoy X8 are a neutral speaker overall with excellent bass, but lean just BARELY on the bright side, thus tube pairing jives well. Had the Tannoys with a Parasound Halo before that, and the Rogues were a better pairing.I only sold the Tannoys to move up to Legacy Signatures. Sorry I have no experience with the LS50s. Edit: I haven't parted with my X8Tfs yet, just can't quite yet. Thinking of incorporating them into my surround system... darn nice speakers for the price!
Any Tannoy XT8f vs Kef LS50 meta comparisons?
I'm in a smallish room (18x12) and itching to upgrade my speakers. Kind of had my heart set on bookshelf style, and looking at the LS50's... However, a pair of Tannoy XT8f speakers recently became available on local classifieds for half off retail. This would put them at less money than a brand new pair of LS50s and I'm strongly considering them.
Any thoughts or opinions on how these two may compare in my size room?
For reference, I'm running Rogue audio gear, RP1 preamp and stereo 100 amp.
Thanks
