Thanks for all these recommendations! If I had the $$$, the ATC, Dynaudio, KEF reference 1 would definitely be in my living room. But with a son in college, l have to not look in that direction. I am currently looking at LS50s because I have been trying some kef q100s this week. The one remarkable quality in these is their capacity to image and their transparency... they reveal a lot more what's in recordings, which is double edge as they are merciless with so so masterings or sources. But they stop there. They roll-off below 200hz, with some peaks here and there, are "hot' with undesirable colorations, and they sound really thin, almost smaller than their size would indicate. THey were probably meant just for surrounds in affordable HT setups.
But if the Q100s are what the MMGs are to Magnepan's bigger panels, then I am thinking that the LS50s edition must have what's missing with the Q100...
Only one way to find out, right? I'll try to get a pair for home audition.
thx again for your comments.
