| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way kenjit1,105 posts10-05-2020 2:44pm"Should i bother listening to these speakers?...."No, because they're NOT "custom-designed" for your ears. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way @mapman - Looking forward to your comparo. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way "....I’m curious how the sub integration will change with the new metas. Maybe no longer needed? Seems possible from what I read...."It’s interesting that the original LS50 and LS50 Meta have the same specifications of Freq Range (-6dB) = 47Hz - 4... | |
| Speakers which always sound good Vandersteen 2CE, even though I no longer have them. | |
| Good economical used DAC to hunt down The Schiit Modius 3 at $199 might be worth considering. Has single-ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) outputs. AudioScienceReview tests and user reviews have been favorable. No risk 15-day return policy. | |
| Hegel H90 external DAC setup "Thanks, I did this actually - connecting to the analog input on the Hegel with the rca but couldn’t tell a difference...if I have two DACs, the external one is now handling all the conversion or it’s being converted again? Guess it’s a strange se... | |
| Swiss cables Had Swiss Symo cables for my Apogee Duetta Signature speakers. They used Litz construction so very labor intensive with a price tag to match. According to Apogee, these were the best cables available. Never found reason to question them. | |

| Which cardas IC for Ayre components? The Golden Reference at a heavily discounted price (see below) would be my call. Wanted Golden Reference but couldn't justify the cost so I went with Golden Presence instead. Very pleased with the quality of Cardas cables (ICs & speaker cables... | |
| KEF LS50 Speaker Stands "good to know that ls50 is an exception to the usual rule for how to set standmounts at the right height for best performance..."The LS50 is NO exception to the standard rule of making sure that the tweeters are at ear level. As I indicated, buyin... | |
| KEF LS50 Speaker Stands The tonal balance of the LS50s is affected by the height of the stands. Going higher than Kef’s recommended stand height of 24" (max.) will reduce the amount of bass due to less boundary (floor) reinforcement. I experimented with speaker height an... | |
| ...bookshelf speakers that sound good at low volume... Another vote for Kef LS50. I’ve had a pair for five years and they continue to amaze me. | |
