" ‘Yes. Someone’s noise is another one’s signal.’ ”

....just as I suspected....*smirk*

...just to muddy up the conversation.....

Here's one commentary about why some prefer tubes vs. SS....

https://www.wired.com/story/the-brains-background-noise-may-be-meaningful-after-all/?bxid=5c49090a24...

When you get to mid-article, there's a reference to a study on 'vacuum tube noise'; later a reference to nVidia (the software company) taking an interest in the research....

That, and the reference to audio begins to make this individual wonder if tube 'noise' rubs some the Right Way as opposed to SS gear....

You may prefer tubes because you can't help it psycophisilogically...conversely, SS....

The same may apply to 'sources'....you don't like streaming/CDs'/anything digital because it rubs your brain the 'wrong way', much like your cat.

*L*  I like that concept....You like what you like because you're wired that way from a DNA kink....as opposed to being 'anti-progress'...*L*

"We can make an app for that..." *LOL*

It's not your gear....

It's YOU. *ROTFL*

@inna ...One could call it/that 'cross-grading'; adaptation to a new set of variables.  Keep the TT, the cart(s), the CD, the streamer...whatever supplies ones' input....and, of course, an outstanding computer.
(I'm not a Mac fan, but to each....)

Driver development and variations on the theme have been underway for awhile now.  The LS50s' are addressing a number of the limitations of the 'radiating element' of a speaker, which has happened in the past.
The port is purported to have some novel features, but the design is still a 'polished' ducted port phase inverter cabinet.
Time and market will decide if it's a hit or a miss. ;)
The price is attractive for a 'high-end' smaller unit anyway...

(I'd opt for the sub, but that's just me....I like the 'tactile nature' of bass...)

Have you experienced them?  The +2 suggests a Yes...
