as usual another idiotic you tube video

 

we are a kef dealer and the sweat spot has always   been the r series 

however this articles conclusions are fraught with in accuracies the test was carried out  by listening in different rooms nor were any other testing criteria published

 

if you want to test loudspeaker vs loudspeaker this is how you test:

 

listen to one speaker note spl level play a track  30 seconds

move loudspeakers out of room

place new loudspeakers in exactly the same location, plat same snippet at identical spl level note the differences.

 

as per ref ones vs ls50 plus sub no contest ref ones are far superior 

we wonder what his conclusions would be if tested the way we test?

Actually the fact that KEF is well known for their research and development capabilities

KEF is great value. I would say that they are not sexy  - subjectively, of course. I'd say a lot of depth/detail, not a lot of warmth. I wonder what's a good pairing to balance it out. 

I like KEF. owned the Ls50 just before they released the Metas. they sound wonderful. 

Maybe my ears would have liked the Reference One’s instead of the Reference 5’s. The 5’s really hurt my ears when listening to saxophone, xylophone and electric guitar at relatively low levels.
