Hegel 80 with either KEF LS50 or KEF R300

Hi,

Heard Kef is great match with Hegel. Integrated amps. Does anyone have experience with Hegel. and KefLS50 and Kef R300? Currently using Monitor Audio RX6. My speaker cable is Nordost. Purple flare, QB4, Nordost.blue heaven power cords and OPPO 105.

Any suggestions? Also if anyone can clarify if r300 are much better than LS50? My room is 15 x 13ft wood floors.

Thanks in advance

I auditioned both for 6 hours and went with the R300. They sounded very close to each other but the 300 had better bass, sounded bigger and more complete in terms of resolution. Both were stand mounted and used the same amplification. Because I listen to a wide range of music including rock, the 300s seemed to handle that better when demoed. No question that both are good speakers so I think go by what your ears tell you.
