KEF LS50 - Question
Flabby bass rolled off highs and highly distorted midrange - what is to like? I’ve heard weak flabby bass and rolled off highs (bad sound overall) when using original ls50s with a 180 w/ch high output impedance zero feedback SS amp that was not u... 
House buying and the aspiring audipihile
I had a few “audiophile” features built into my house. 1) finished office/listening room in the basement with with insulation in all 4 walls and a solid wood door so music can be played louder at night without disturbing anyone. 2) in wall speaker... 
spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?
DAC  but a very good one does not have to cost a fortune.  
Dinah Washington, have you listened to her?
Well said! Dinah at her best might be the best ever when it comes to simply and accessibly delivering the goods vocally. One of my all time favorites.Probably the one I would suggest those interested in pop/jazz female vocalists listen to first to... 
KEF LS50 - Question
Very strange.  You'd think there was maybe  something special about them. 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
I was notified today metas I ordered in Titanium Grey are backordered via KEF at present so I may have to wait a bit longer than thought. That’s ok, no rush. Looks like all the colors save black are on backorder currently.@cd318 I am hopeful techn...

@mrdecibel only the couch and wood blinds over the window back there but lots of things on the walls in general as you can see. The sound is very good top to bottom with large soundstage with some depth  and excellent detail and imaging to my ears.

I am wondering how long it will take for this new sound absorption technology to show up in headphones?  That could be interesting also.

Who needs science right?  Hifi was awesome back in the Middle Ages.  
Are my standards too high?
The solution is simple.  Take a deep breath, close your eyes and wish away those pesky laws of physics that are always getting in the way of things.  
Are my standards too high?
Champagne taste and beer budget Is a bummer but manageable.

The white paper covers the implementation pretty well. If you have questions best to ask the experts ie the engineers at KEF. I suspect you would get a response if you inquire.

Kenjit if you read the white paper, which is very well written, you will see the attenuation is down to 620hz not just the range of the tweeter and there are measurement charts that show it. Also that there is a lot of science and expertise that w...
