| KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms? You did not mention price or room size, only sound quality, so I am recommending the KEF Reference 1 bookshelf. There is one available today on A’Gon for about $6K used. It is a great stand mount speaker. Read the soundstage.com review it reads li... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass Fsmithjack,You may find this interesting. Talks about the Blade and KEF's answer to people who do not like the look.https://www.stereophile.com/content/kef-reference-5-loudspeaker | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass Normie57,How much space do you have between the speaker and side wall? Did you get room treatments? The side firing drivers always concern me when I look at potential rooms to place my future Blades. | |
| Is this an ugly speaker? TAS cover 10/2017 I was at a Wilson Audio event in Southern California. The dealer was playing the most expensive Wilson speaker (do not remember the model #). The sound was good but as usual with Wilson’s I thought the sweet spot was too small for my tastes. I had... | |
| Speakers (KEF/Wharfedale/Axiom/ELAC) for my First Budget Setup with Wyred4Sound mINT I would have got the KEF LS50 wireless (active version) and ditch the integrated. You only need a computer to use these speakers. However, this depends on your room size (can add a sub to this speaker). The beauty of this speaker is that you can e... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 I read that review. I do not understand why they have not hit the US or Canada yet. | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass I was thinking of writing exactly what tDimler wrote above. With your DAC I do not see the need for a preamp (at least in the short term). I was going to suggest the Revel Salon2 since you mentioned the Studio2 above. I had the Revel Salon 1 in ... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass " Really, KEF? Not even in the same zipcode as Magico or YG. The TAD is just plain harsh, so even though it’s detailed, it’ll drive you batty. I’ve also seen people recommending Focal... Must be jokers, for sure..."Jokes on you buddy, Go for a hea... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass You should also have a listen to the KEF Reference line and do a comparison to the Magico non-MKII versions. I think you maybe surprised at how good the KEF’s sound. The price is also a heck of a lot cheaper.At the same LA show I heard the KEF Ref... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass KEF Blades + Luxman m900u + Luxman c900u. The amp and pre-amp are $15K each now (price lowered).I have heard all of these separately for long periods at stores or shows. I have not heard them together but my feeling is this will sound great. There... | |
| Need a "PHYSICALLY" smaller and lighter amp to replace my BAT VK-200 at 70lbs My next amp is the Benchmark AHB2 for my office system,https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/reviewsI may get 2 of them just in case I get bigger speakers in the office. These amps supposedly can play with large speakers running as monoblocks. They hav... | |
| System Upgrade Recommendations Bryston warranty is transferable. For new gear you need the original sales receipt from an authorized dealer. Almost everyone who sells newer Brystons on A'Gon have this receipt. When you send amp for repair you need to send the original receipt.O... | |
| Best amp for KEF LS50 I bought the A23 for $500 on eBay and it has done a great job at that price point. Now the amp is dying but I got 4-5 years out of it in my office system. KEF used to demo the LS50 with the A23 when the LS50 first came out in the USA. | |
| Best amp for KEF LS50 Bigridge,What type of sound do you like? The reason I ask is because I am close to buying the Benchmark amp to go with my KEF LS50 and Benchmark DAC2. Your dissatisfaction with the Benchmark is surprising to read since all the prior reports I have... | |
| Thiel 7.2 - Classe, Krell or Bryston? I heard these amps on sale here at A'Gon at the dealer (Bryston reps were demoing). They were driving Magico speakers costing over $150K. They sounded great then and will sound great with your Thiels. Now is a great time to buy a 28B-SST2).https:/... |
