KEF LS 50 active. Amazing all in one package.
Need new speakers, within budget, How about KEF?
Looking to upgrade my current speakers - Q Acoustics 3050
I’ve been helping a couple friends out, getting their systems started by giving them my old gear. I thought this a perfect time to upgrade my speakers, since one of my friends really wants my 3050s.
When I first bought the 3050s, my budget was low, and after seeing them win "best speakers under $1k" two years in a row at Whathifi, I pulled the trigger. I have thoroughly enjoyed them, but at $600/pair, I know there are many other options out there.
My budget now is $1600 new/used. I’ve been looking at the KEF line, and have had my eye on the LS50, Q900, and R100/300. Unfortunately, there is no way to audition KEFS or most other speakers where I live, unless I go to the local Best Buy, which is limited to B&Ws, Definitive Tech, and some Martin Logans..
Others I’ve been looking at:
Dali, Tannoy, Monitor Audio, Dynaudio, or trying the ELAC line with mods.
I am using an ELAC S10 subwoofer right now, if that makes a difference.
