Kef LS50 vs. Emerald Physics CS3 mk2


I'd be shocked if more than a few people have heard these heads up, but that's what I'm narrowed down to on paper. Any thoughts/opinions? The Kef's I plan to go audition, the EP's prove a touch more challenging to hear... I lean towards a warm rich tone w/ fast dynamics. Music tastes tend towards jazz/blues/classic rock.

Many Thx!

I've heard both (the KEF LS50 and EP CS2.2?), but never together. My impressions are that the KEF is more dynamic, more energy in the transmission of sound, whereas the EP reminds me of the Magnepan 1.7 or 3.7, realistic, natural, refined. Both are musical. I appreciated the EP but did not enjoy it however, whereas the KEF had me toe-tapping...
