![]() ![]() Has anyone tried the Roksan Darius standmount ? They get a good write up too. I suppose the Reference 1 is close to that, more so than the R300, and I am wondering how the R3 might compare. Flat impedance curve allowing easy load for amplifiers. In-house, hand-wound precision flat wire coil. CLD driver technology with 45mm integral soft dome. I wondered why KEF have never made a larger version of the LS50's or a three way version using the same cabinet techniques. New ATC designed and built 25mm soft dome HF unit with precision alloy wave guide. I liked the LS50's a lot but they were too inconsistent, and I've almost come to the conclusion that what i'd like is a pair of LS50's and Focal Aria 906's side by side and flick between the two depending on what i'm listening to ! I've just bought some Partington Dreadnought stands (which i'll probably use on only one side as two is a squeeze) to try as my existing stands are not that good. I think I've been doing the same thing as you further down the food chain with standmount speakers, and have tried quite a few ! I think my room size / set up wouldn't justify the cost of Dynaudio Special 40's but i did try them briefly in a demo and they sounded very good. Will be interesting for me to do a comparison at some point i think, but amazingly there are now fewer dealers that sell ATC for some strange reason.Ĭlick to expand.Hi, Yes i have owned the LS50's and I've seen your posts on your speaker quest. Interestingly What Hi Fi has just give these a five star review, and given them their 2018 Award, ousting the very impressive ATC SCM11's ! Should be good then. Kef have now released the successor to the R300 - the R3, which apparently offers trickle down design from their Reference series, and features similar dual concentric design to the LS50 with a bass driver too. I can understand why other people love the Kef LS50's and they are a modern classic i think. Part of this i think was down to the fact that one speaker was on a shelf and one on a stand (that particular future upgrade will be expensive, requiring a new house!), and the limited lower bass capability. ![]() Eventually I preferred the warmer meatier sound of my Focal Aria 905's. The problem was that they tended to put a spotlight on some bits of a song with a powerful and detailed sound, but other bits were recessed and distant. Initially i didn't like them at all, but after a bit more running in I suddenly found them to be fantastic with some kinds of music. I have recently bought and sold a pair of Kef LS50's and found them to be very hit and miss. ![]()
