| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? ref1000s do not have custom input stage for best tube amp results nor beefed up power supply.....stock icepower. So may not be best still for a 4 ohm load or use with tube pre-amp if needed, ....even though 500 w/ch. You need somewhat pricier ref1... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I’m at my desk again in between the speakers as seen in the pic link above. Sounds like a very good pair of headphones but more spacious from there :-). Dispersion!Hope to get some more listening time in from the sweet spot on couch near rear wall... | |

| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Yes, thanks. Definitely more refined overall than the originals and the originals are no slouch for their size either. Still have a lot of listening to do to soak it all in. The litmus test for me in the end is how long a setup holds my attention ... | |

| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Ok well I picked them up at the dealer earlier today. Got a bonus of three cans of Christmas Cookies for being a patient customer. Had a final quick listen to the old ls50s then in with the new. Only had time for some quick initial impressions so ... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Drum roll.................They finally arrived at the dealer's shop over the weekend. Will go fetch them and hook them up in the next day or two. Stay tuned... | |

| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? Excess anything by definition is not needed. It’s excess. The question with amps is always at what point is it excess? Another way to look at excess headroom is your insurance policy against clipping. Avoiding clipping should be high on the list o... | |
