@luxmancl38 - we must be pretty close I’m in Southern NH.
I found the LS50’s need a lot of power to get the best out of them. I use to drive them with a Rega Brio-r and always felt it was under powered. I swapped to an ML532 and that made a huge difference. I got rid of both and now have an MC275 and Harbeths, I’d be loathed to ditch my Mc gear, so maybe a 452 would be a good match.
