Tube amp with KEF Reference 1
I remembered that the A'gon poster, @axo0oxa had some very interesting comments on KEF Ref 1 and tubes (what he uses). Do a member search and see his post from about a 1 to 2 weeks ago. 
KEF for Near-field?
@matrixrabbit I do not know anything about the R3/300. I am not sure about your electronics since I have not heard them. There was a Christmas sale on the passive LS50 from the online KEF Store for $999 . The passive LS50’s can be found on A’gon u... 
KEF for Near-field?
@ matrixrabbit I owned the X300A and it was, but rather good for a desktop computer speaker. I got tired of it and gave it away to my nephew. I also have had the LS50 on my desk. I used isoACCOUSTICS stands (not expensive) and the sound was rather... 
Is this the end of HEA?
@sleepwalker  I used to think the same way about rap as you stated in your post. However, since this is the GOLDEN age of music I was able to discover rap that I liked via the internet (mainly TIDAL). I just did a filter on my digital library for ... 
Tube amp with KEF Reference 1
@justanotherhifiguy Sorry cannot help with the tubes question. However, maybe you can give some feedback on how the KEF R1 sound in your small room? Are you doing anything special to manage the bass?

Fela Kuti is famous all over the world but I had never heard of him. I discovered him on some "best music of all-time list". The song they had on the list, Zombie, was listed as from a video game. I was surprised and had to investigate. It was lik... 
Magico A3
Congrats. In the last 2 years, I also had a kid, a new job (work from home) and I just moved into a new home last month. Since I work from home I am looking for a speaker to fit my small home office. I was checking out the A3 before I knew the roo... 
Magico A3
@james633  I think I remember your prior Thiel posts as James63 back in the day. Nice to see your posts again. I was into Thiel when you were shopping around for speakers back then, so I remember paying attention to your posts. I was about to buy ...

Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
@djones51 Thanks for the feedback on that M100.I should have also posted on my prior post that based on feedback from you guys here. I am holding off the Magico A3 from consideration for now. It sounds like that speaker goes down too low for such ... 
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
Actually I have been pretty consistent. I stated in the middle of this thread that I have narrowed it down to  3 speakers for the office (in no order)- KEF Ref1 - TAD ME1 (4+ good recommendations for this one but $$$)- Harbeth SHL5+ (something dif...
