KEF LS50 vs. Monitor Audio Silver2


Need to decide quickly between used KEFLS50s and new MA SIlver Rx2 or SIlver 2. I will be running off of 60 watt Adcom amp/preamps. Music tends to be singer-songwriter with a good bit of classical and art rock thrown in (instruments range from acoustic guitar to electric violin to piano)

Any thoughts appreciated.

What's your hurry? It's commendable that you mention the electronics, but for speakers this small, it would help immensely to mention room size. Also, "classical" music can mean a lot of things, from solos and small ensembles to 100-piece orchestral extravaganzas plus pipe organ and vocals.

If you want some professional insight on just how extraordinary the LS50s are, check out the Stereophile review and especially Stephen Mejias' followup. Note that the Dec. 2013 issue named the LS50 Stereophile's Budget Product and Overall Component of the Year, the only time that has ever happened.
