It's not obvious to me what OP means by rock out, but I have been amazed by the ability of the LS50s to play loud. Two distinct cases in point: The Blu-rays of Legends of Jazz and the large orchestration of the Decca recording of Aida. I'm using a Sony XA5400ES through a Cary Cinema 12 to a Parasound A 23 amp, and a pair of Velodyne HGS-10s with SMS-1 bass manager to supplement the LS50s below 80 Hz. The LS50s are impressive. Will they crash and bang like an Altec A7 VOT? Probably not, but they'll sound a lot better with everything else.
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!
