Atohm GT1 SE vs KEF LS50

@audiotroy  would you mind sharing your views on the Atohm GT1 speakers? Do they compare well with other bookshelf speakers in the similar price range. TAS has a review of them and liked them very much but found the low end to be a weakness (of sorts). Is that your experience as well? 

I had a chance to audition the Atom GT1 Special Editions (Devialet) and I must say they are absolutely fantastic speakers.  I was really impressed with their clarity, sense of space, imaging and their "full" sound in my medium sized room.  They really are awesome speakers and I'm very surprised they're not more popular.  

I own a pair of the KEF LS50 wireless speakers which I've found to be quite good and which are also supposedly better than the passive ones (though I haven't heard the passives), but the KEFs are not in the same league as the Atohm GT1s.  They are much smaller sounding with a thinner sound and much inferior in terms of imaging.  

I have a really hard decision on whether to buy the Atohms now or wait and buy a full range floor stander which was my original plan (until I heard the Atohms)!

You're right the KEF LS50W are nowhere near as good as the Atohms. I found the KEFs to be suitable to a desktop setup but don't do enough in a larger area. But I actually had so many reliability issues with them and after going through 2 replacements in a year the dealer actually took them back and refunded my money!

I have my Atohm GT1s connected to a Naim Uniti Atom & a Naim 250 AMP and the sound is excellent. I have 2 JL Audio E110 subs on order and can't wait to hear the Atohms with the added subs.
