new kef ls60s just arrived

We just got our display par of LS60s

 

as they are brand new we must break them in first.

 

the beauty of this product is how a few company’s are re-inventing, the audiophile lifestyle.

 

many reviewers don’t understand the value of products like the naim. muso and uniti lines. and what lifestyle products like kef and dali are delivering.

the question, will be how many people who are not audiophiles, will rediscover their love of music, come to a store and experience these lifestyle and conventional systems and choose what is the best solution for themselves for their particular rooms, budgets and applications.

the kef ls 60 and the Dali Rubicon c series and the atc actives all represent the

perfect solutions for our secondary rooms or for our family members. friends and relatives, wives and girlfriends will also approve.

Don’ t fight the future, instead embrace these products as gateways designed to bring new consumers into our hobby and keep our hobby alive and well into the future, as well as being the perfect solution for other rooms we would like to add great music to in a simpler more compact way.

The LS60 got me moving to either sell my Livingroom gear and buy the LS60 or stick with my original plan to buy my final speaker.

One result of this was that I was able to try my old KEF LS50 passive with the new KEF KC62 sub. I used a CODA 07x preamp (XLR to sub) and a KRELL Duo 175XD amp. Now I know the LS60 is optimized for driver amplification and also has DSP for placement. However, the sound I was getting in my small room with the LS50 and electronics I have made me think I need to get something much better than the LS60 to really surpass what I have now.

To do this, I need to sell my Thiel CS3.7 speakers and once I do, I will be getting a KEF Blade 2 META. Seems you only need 9" from front wall placement for this speaker. I can do a bit more than that. You can put the LS60 anywhere because of the DSP feature.

I will be using the Benchmark LA4 preamp, AHB2 mono amps, and Musetec 005 DAC, Audience FrontRow speaker cable with SPEAKON, with KEF Blade 2 META. I think this much, much more expensive setup will be way better than the LS60.

There will be an upcoming Stereophile review of the KEF Blade 2 Meta using the AHB2 (and maybe the Topping pre90 preamp).

@dbphd They kicked me out of Santa Barbara and now I am in Goleta next door to UCSB. Once I sell my Thiel’s I am going speaker less until this Poor Man raises the cash for the Blades. Been saying that for a decade now but this time I have all the gear in place along with a decent room. I am sharing this room with my son’s playroom (again Poor Man blues).

I will get you over for a listen. My room is not amazing but in the past week I have had my CS3.7’s in this room and I now know the Blade will work there. Tons of space in each side of the speaker before I hit a wall. the ceiling is 25 feet high.

It may take a bit of time because I fit Kenjii’s profile of a Poor Man

BTW - I will get you to listen to my RAAL SR1a + VM-1a. I expect the Blades will be a bit better. The SR1a + VM-1a is better than my Thiel’s. Another reason the Thiel's are going.
