Interesting situation! Do we need this....


  I had a very interesting and unsettling experience that brings this hobby all together...or rips it apart. Recently,  I bought a pair of Fluence SX6 speakers, on sale at Amazon for $120 pair. A small, black, two way bookshelf speaker. Highly-positively reviewed. My plan was to pull the drivers to use in another project. I couldn't buy drivers and crossovers like this for $120(More on this later)...Anyways, I was listening to my new kit amplifier, AKITIKA Z4 that I recently built...Streaming Quobuz...The Fluance speakers were set up next to the KEF LS50 Metas as I had used them previously to test yet another kit amplifier, Nelson Pass' ACA Mini.....For six hours I was simply amazed at how great the AKITIKA kit amp sounded. Massive sound stage, tight, well defined bass, some of the best vocals I've heard, the "AIR" around jazz instruments was fantastic!.....a system to behold...playing through my KEF LS50 Metas....Six hours later, after all types of music, it was time to call it a night (or early morning)....As I go to shut down the system, I realize that all night I was listening to the Fluance speakers!!! They were placed side by side with the KEFs. Do we really need any of this high end equipment to really enjoy the music!

The Pass Amp Camp amps do not provide anywhere near the power

those greedy LS 50s demand. What about the new amp with the KEFs?

What is your take on the Degritter Mk2?
Good or no difference?

Thinking of buying one…..

So this is a nonsense post because you didn’t listen to the KEFs through the same amp, and, are both speakers the same ohm’s?  Also, some speakers require a higher quality/powered amp to sound good.

Methinks you had some more comparing to do before you posted anything.

Methinks he should be able to post whatever he wants. I, for one, am always grateful for any info concerning this hobby and use it to further my own journey. That said, I would also be interested in your future findings on this revelation. Will your initial amazement hold up on repeated listening. My experience with my own system tells me that the frame of mind I am in, the time of day and many other external influences change how I perceive my stereo and its performance.
