Can the KEF LS50 rock?


Hi,

Right now my setup includes a Rel T5 sub and a pair of Wharfedale 10.1s. I just got a peachtree nova 125se which should be coming soon. For the longest time I have been looking at buying a pair of KEF LS50s. My room size is medium and I rarely get to play my music loud. All that being said if I bought the Kefs and paired it with my sub how would they do when I occasionally feel the desire to rock out? Any other monitor suggestions would be helpful. I live in a small town so there isn't much chance to test drive speakers but maybe I can take a roadtrip to Denver in the future.

Thanks!

The signal from the speaker terminals to a REL is replete with whatever crap is on that line, primarily back-EMF. Thus the sub is seeing the same signal as the speakers especially given the 100k+ input impedance of the REL's high level inputs. I have owned five RELs over the years. They work as advertised. I have no connection whatsoever to the company (or any AV company for that matter). They simply work, and in ways you wouldn't think a sub would work. They RAWK!
