KEF Reference 1 or LS60


I using pre-meta KEF Reference 1s driven by an Ayre VX-5 Twenty amp with an Ayre QX-5 Twenty roon-ready DAC, Ayre DX-5 DSD disc player, and Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp. The speakers are augmented by a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s with acoustic room correction below 80 Hz and high-passed at 80 Hz by a passive balanced Marchand filter. A plan I’ve been mulling over is replacing the Reference 1s and all the Ayre gear except the disc player with KEF LS60s. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Call Ayre and see what they recommend 

the Ayre is wonderful gear and definitely deserves 

a speaker that has masterful timing at all frequencies 

Many folks that own Ayre gear have discovered Vandersteen 

both together are exquisite
