Underpowered?
 second amp to drive the woofers. use the pre outs to a mac amp thats rated with 50% more power than the current amp and slave it to the woofers.  
Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer
The recommendations from the experts are to use eq to balance room effects below 300 hz.   
Dynaudio Confidence 20 vrersus Kef reference 1
Interesting reply’s, The dynaudio’s I’ve heard had big bass and a bit less resolution compared to similar priced kef’s. If those qualities are still the same music type and listening levels should be considered.  
KEF Reference 1s or Wilson Sophias
I love Wilson at the shows in rooms large enough to let them breathe. My current speakers are kef blades.   
Proac Speakers & Isoacoustics Gaia
Don’t tell me the musics are gone?    
VIVID AUDIO SPEAKERS
Supermerio, I have to wonder if you’re hearing room coloration? I haven’t heard vivid speakers as my budget doesn’t allow, but reviews from pros and owners are all quite positive with the only thing being price and lack of deep bass.  
Impressions of Coincident Speakers
I was talked out of them by a local dealer because I’m more rock music with solid state components. The speakers are a funky load and I believe were designed for tubes with high efficiency being a priority.  
Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck
Jbl is a good start

I don’t want to stray too much but what is a smart purchase to replace the dac in the h360 or 590?  
Magico A5 or KEF blade 2?
I bought the blades. I previously had the kef R105/3 for 25 years, they were the first reference to use the uniq and I can assure everyone the uniq isn't spl limited. I'm pretty sure I ended up back with kef after trying focal, persona, usher be20... 
KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable
or leave California, lol  
flabbergasted with reviews on speakers
I don't own focal speakers but I do appreciate that in their website the tell the consumer what size room each model in a line the speaker is designed for. Sensitivity ratings alone aren't enough because like russ69 said impedance will affect the ... 
anybody else dump their Kef LS50 Wireless II?
You can get a pair of CV 215’s for the same price and hit 120 db.  
Magico A5 or KEF blade 2?
I would think if you owned the other Magico speakers in the past they will sound the most natural to you if only familiarity. As to calling one better than another. I. Don’t engage in stone throwing.
