That is a great deal! But not worth switching at your listening distance. The ls50m has exceptional directivity and is near perfect (other than a small crossover dip) if you don't need high SPL.

I guess Boomer is already taken ;)

Maybe you need a PA speaker?

The natural is what I had. It's beautiful and looks better in real life than the pictures on the Internet. Really wish I liked the LX more than I did.

Lol I tried this when the LX was first released. Dave was not impressed (understandably so) and I was denied shipping to anything other than my address...

They did fix it, it just needs to be pushed in. When I had the R3, when you lined up the mid driver with the shadow flare the shadow flare would sit deeper than the front baffle itself, creating a circumferential ridge. On the R3M, when pushed in (after shipping movement), the flare lines up...

I was asking as a curiosity, just wanted to know how close the ls50m with subs gets to the ls60. I will never buy an expensive speaker with built in electronics... Especially from KEF.

Was that with the ls50 and sub crossed over?

The "harman curve" is a headphone target. The curve these guys are discussing were the preferred in room speaker response in a specific study. It used a very linear speaker with good dispersion to get

I'm a bit late to this thread. But if you're looking for help with setup, room acoustics and dsp, contact mitchco on this forum (Google him). He lives just up the sunshine coast (sechelt?) and may be the person you want to chat with regarding installation and your setup.

Anyone know if they're planning on implementing volume normalization for Spotify connect?

Yeah he did an amazing job with the low end. It's kinda ridiculous how big it sounds. I can't help but wonder how the LXs would do with revels shallow waveguide and the titan tweeter, mated to that woofer. Probably a great balance of the tradeoffs between a completely flat baffle tweeter and a...

Pretty sure that's a worst case setup lol. It's right next to the wall. In all fairness, they should be compared in the same space. This is gonna mess with the holographic imaging the KEFs are known for. The meta can't compete with the bass slam. They have an extended bass shelf, and the r...

I don't think he does. He routinely complains that their dispersion isn't wide enough. So he raves about how well they measure and image but never explicitly says he likes them (other than the mofi8 and kef ref1 meta). I think he appreciates the design and engineering, and nerds out about them...

I would attribute it to reflections for sure. I think a three way concentric with a well designed crossover (hard to do) just does a better job creating a seamless transition through the crossover region where human perception is extremely sensitive. Although the original R3 was fatiguing and...

Erin just got a pair of blade metas in, and his initial impression is interesting. He almost seems mindblown. Not sure I would call concentric full range, with a perfect radiation pattern snake oil. The PS weighing doesn't account for everything, look at the D&D 8c, another mindblowing...

Anyone have any luck getting volume normalization to work for Spotify connect? It doesn't work through the WIIM pro for some reason.

For whatever reason the elevated treble region of the R3 could be a reason for it being preferred by some people. The preference score doesn't really account for people that like a more forward clear sound. A more interesting comparison would be the R3 meta and lintons. They're more tonally...

Do it! I have bought so many speakers over the years. These are it! This is what I always wanted but couldn't find. They're for enjoying music, good or bad recordings be damned.

Pics?
