since you seem to be concerned with whether it's a audiophile speaker, perhaps you should listen to a bookshelf speaker of a higher class - e.g. see list >> such as Dynaudio Special 40, JA Prism, Harbeth P3ESR, Totem Signature One, Amphion Argon3S, Buchardt S400, Perlisten R4B, etc. to decide if there is a significant improvement FOR YOU. My guess is that there will be and you will want to explore it further if you can be happy with the LS50s, long term. |
KEF is one of the largest speaker manufacturers. I'd say it's a brand across inexpensive consumer products to high end audiophile speakers, from 500 to 50K. Strictly speaking a $1500 speaker would fall outside "audiophile". But who really cares about these labels? |
@vthokie83 that's a great story. I do think highly of the Buchardts. However, buying new speakers was my biggest mistake. I spent an enormous amount on my speakers and I could have saved 50% if I had bought used. And I could have spent that on another upgrade. Oh well. I still learned a lesson. |
