At the current prices, and from what I’ve heard people say, I’m not sure I could see justifying the price of the Reference One Meta over the LS50 Meta + dual KC62 subs.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't something like the MiniDSP SHD be a perfect fit for this use case?
I also ask, because I'm currently trying to decide an upgrade path from the LS50s that I have right now, for between $5k-10k.
Torn between LS50 Meta + KC62 (x2?) + MiniDSP SHD, or...
All of this is pointing me (gently) towards LS50 Meta’s and combining them with a sub (or two). I’m not sure where exactly I’ll be living next year but it’ll likely be an apartment with not a huge amount of space. Besides the size/space matching, I’m starting to get the feeling that at least...
Care to give us any more info at all? Which series are being refreshed? Is it just addition of meta or a whole overhaul? When will these products be announced, and when will they be available?
I'm holding out on purchasing a new pair of stand mounts (Ref 1 or LS50 Meta + dual KC62) with the hope of a new Reference line being announced. I've been asking around but not getting any good info. Wavesharp you've given me some hope! Now it's just a waiting game... hoping the new series gets...
No it’s good! I’m happy to hear any and all thoughts related to the topics at hand. Honestly I just wish I could go and hear the LS50 meta and R3 and Reference 1 all in one place.
I’m in Montreal/Toronto though and I don’t know of any places to demo, sucks that there aren’t more shops that carry...
I mean if you add dual KC62 subs to the LS50M then you're up to ~$6000 compared to $8000 for the Ref 1.
Add on to that the the former are 7 years newer than the Ref 1s and I think it's a totally fair comparison.
If anyone has heard both please do chime in. Thanks so much!
Hello all!
Sorry if this post is similar to discussions already had, I’ve read through everything and couldn’t quite find the info I was looking for.
I’m looking to upgrade from my KEF LS50 speakers that I’ve owned for about 6 years.
I’m currently running them with an Arcam A49, and am looking...
Fair! Hopefully someone gets around to sending you one sometime. Although it seems unlikely for there to be any big surprises...
I have the THX 789 on order after reading your review (was lucky to snag one from the last order batch) and really want to pair a DAC with matching aesthetics. I just...
