As much as I love my LS50's, I think the advice is good to go with the 3's. The Kef's are great speakers and frequently used as a reference by reviewers, but they for sure need a subwoofer, and they don't play nice with underpowered amplifiers. I understand your decision is based on availability, but if you have the space for floorstanders it opens up the world to quite a few other options.
KEF LS50 Meta vs. Golden Ear Triton 3
I'm thinking about upgrading speakers in a large bedroom where I listen to classic and jazz and moderate volumes. I found a lightly used pair of LS50s and a pair of Triton 3s for 60% of the price of the KEFs. The price difference is not hugely important, but it is a factor. Which would you choose and why?
Thank you,
John
