| KEF LS50 Need Help Hey mij, thank for the suggestions. The LS50’s did not make the cut back then and got returned. I have upgraded considerably from that system and now have much better equipment running B&W 805ds and a single REL S/5. Conceptually I like the ... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help I should’ve updated this along time ago but forgot. it turns out the noise I was experiencing was from room issues that was solved with room treatments, sound traps, etc. took care of it. It was Not at all related to the speakers. | |
| McIntosh MC 2150 Fried Been moving equipment around a bit over the last week, and after reconnection today I had the right channel out again. After a short panic I determined it is either the interconnect on the right channel or the RCA plug on the Preamp. Strange how t... | |
| McIntosh MC 2150 Fried I checked everything yesterday, unconnected, reconnected, etc.. and no right channel. After sfall mentioned pre-amp as possible culprit I pulled out the preamp today and hooked CD player straight in. Right channel back. Happy. Put pre back in jus... | |
| McinTosh Just had a good listen to the D150 on MC152 and C-47 (same DAC but phono and other features) on a bigger Mac amp, forgot to look at model. The salesman switched out the D150 and let me compare it to my own Parasound Halo P5 I brought in. The Halo ... | |
| Spotify sounds compressed Been using Spotify premium for awhile and am quite happy. Mine is run via airport express toslink cable to dac/ preamp. As others said not all recordings equal. Try searching in Spotify for audiophile test track playlist to sample some better reco... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help I had the subs flanking each speaker which eliminates most integration issues. Also worth noting, I detest boomy bass so I would set the crossover and sub gains quite low. The integration was good, but not perfect, however, that was not much of an... | |
| KEF LS50 Only difference in Anniversary edition are the words Anniversary Edition is on the front speaker surround.I auditioned the LS50s for over two months with and without dual subs. Very nice speaker for the money as I think anyone would agree. I wo... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help Final update: I did determine that any harshness or listening fatigue I was experiencing was due to room acoustics and the HVAC return vent which causes some ear response when music is playing. I spent some bucks on acoustic panels / bass traps wh... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help I have settled into the speaker / dual subs combo and am very pleased with the results. The set-up is growing on me from a visual perspective as well. The subs really match the look of LS50s very well (matching piano black finish and the matt bla... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help Schubert, not clear if you are saying you think the LS50 with subs would sound better than say the Salk Towers, or the other way around? | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help Well, after much investigation and trepidation I ordered and received a pair of SVS SB12-NSD subs in the piano black finish (which matches the KEF LS50). As some had indicated, the sound just opens up incredibly by adding the subs. The combination... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help update:The LS50 have running nonstop for the past few days and they have definitely mellowed nicely. I think the harshness was a result of more break-in time needed, as is now, almsot a non issue for me. I am 95% sure I will be ordering a sub in t... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help i will say that these speakers are most impressive with good source material. my only hesitation in at least trying the sub option is the harshness of the highs, at times, as a sub will not have an impact on that. break-in may soften the highs, bu... |
