That will be an interesting comparison! I own the LS50s but I have never heard the others. My guess is that the focal should be a more competent speaker than the LS50, as the LS50 has its limitations due to size. Please let us know what you hear!
Focal 1008 be vs KEF LS50 vs KEF R300/500/700 vs MA Gold 200
Hi !
I just purchased a pair of Focal 1008 be. I was wondering how these other models I listed would compare with it.
I will be driving the speakers probably with a Hegel amp like H160, H300 or H360.
This week I will try to home demo LS50 and R300 if I can and compare them with Focals. I can still return Focal's, therefore I am questioning if any of those others would be a better choice. Use case will be 50% music %50 movies.
Thanks!
