KEF LS 50
I just purchased a used LS50 with now about 100+ hours on it. I have it on my home office placed on top of my desk. My desk has one 26" monitor and the 2 speakers on each side of the monitor. My speakers are 25 cm from the back wall, 15 cm from th... 
KEF LS 50 in NE Ohio?
I just bought a used LS50 last week from A'Gon and have it hooked up with a Parasound Halo 23 amp. My office, where the speakers reside is about 12x13. I have a cheapo Emotiva XDR-1 dac in the office with all inputs coming from various computers. ... 
Audience THE ONE on Desktop Need amp
One additional point for anyone else thinking of going this way. The LS50 are so reveling that I find it hard to listen to 320-bit internet streaming (www.mog.com). With my old A2's mog sounded just fine. My FLAC's sound amazing on the LS50. 
Audience THE ONE on Desktop Need amp
Well I have made a change to my desktop system and I thought I would follow up.I decided to go with the KEF LS50 for my desktop to replace my AudioEngine A2's. I was worried that the speakers were too big from my space. A friend of mine was nice e... 
The Gear to drive Mini Maggies
I just bought a Parasound Halo A23 on eBay or $540. I use it to drive the KEF LS50 on my desktop. I was debating whether to get the KEF LS50, Audience ONE, or Magnapan Mini for my desktop. A friend bought the KEF to my place to try with the A23 am...

Revel Salon 3?
James63,I totally agree with your assessment of the Thiel 3.7 relative to the Salon. I would not go back to the Salon since I have already owned it but if somebody gave me one as a gift I would happily take it.I am doing some active searching now.... 
Revel Salon 3?
James63,You like the Salon2 more so than the Thiel 3.7? It would be interesting to hear your opinion. I have read quite a bit of your posts during my speaker research activities and found them informative.I owned the Salon1 for quite a long time i... 
The Gear to drive Mini Maggies
If you were to go overboard for the amp, you should consider the Bryston 3B-SST/3B-SST2 or 4B-SST/4B-SST2 for the Mini. I think it would be a pretty good match considering the Bryston and Magnapan are supposed to play well with each other. A more ... 
The Gear to drive Mini Maggies
I was considering getting these Mini's for my desktop but now I am also interested in the Audience THE ONE desktop speaker. It would be very interesting to have a comparison between the 2, both provide 30-day trials direct from the manufacturer. I...

On the other hand, Bryston and Magnapan did introduce the Mini's at some show connected to the 28B-SST2's. Overkill for sure but I don't think it would blow up the speaker. 
salesperson recomends what do you think
Check out the KEF LS50 for a small room. 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
There is an upcoming Audio show in San Francisco and also in Toronto. Vancouver is a short car ride away. You will be able to hear these speakers there. 
Bryston BP-26 or Parasound Halo JC 2 preamp??
Another pre-amp to consider is the solid state BAT VK-42SE. I changed from the Bryston BP25/MPS-2 combination to the BAT. The sound of the BP 25 was a little harsh for me. I believe the BP26 addresses the issues I had with the BP25. I used the 7B-...
