Lots of misinformation here.
I would guess that I have more experience with LS50W’s than anyone who has commented on this thread.
Treat your room! Get the wife excited to pick out your treatments from GIK. Get the art panels or the new panels that have the wood faces. Look online at what people have done. Get creative with colors and shapes and the way you piece them / join them together on your walls. Get a nice, big, fluffy rug made out of natural fibers, not poly.
Treating your room will make your room a more enjoyable place to be even when not listening to music. It is easier to understand speech and conversations in a treated room. Don’t move your set-up. Make it more enjoyable for everyone in the bigger, living room.
Pull the LS50W’s out from the back wall and out from any sidewalls. Adjust the settings under DSP.
LS50W’s are phenomenal speakers when positioned properly, adjusted correctly with the dsp, and the room is treated a little bit.
They also take 200 hours of playtime before the harsh, bright edgy sound relaxes and they come into their own. Let them play quietly overnight or during the day while no one is home.
Paired with a sub or two, they are exceptional and would knock the socks off any of your friends. The waf is high on the LS50. She might file for divorce if you brought some big clunky wooden boxes into the room that looked like they were styled in the 70’s and 80’s (insert Klipsch).
And if it mattered at all, the LS50W has a class A/B amp on the tweeter. The crossover is handled in the digital domain as well, which can be beneficial. It’s a point source design with exceptional phase timing and coherency. The imaging and dispersion is exceptional.
LS50W’s rock. Don’t give up on them until you have played them for 200 hours, placed them properly, set them up properly with the dsp and treated your room. Remember, room treatments will benefit any future speaker should you decide to sell the LS50W’s.
