    Does anyone have experience with the Kef LS50?

    The tweeter was amazing.  I auditioned the ML 35XT yesterday      The high's were excellent on this.  The folded ribbon is much larger in the 60XT and the warmth and richness of the sound were obviously a lot better on the bigger speaker.  The little ones imaged very well.  i went with the...

    Does anyone have experience with the Kef LS50?

    Yeah a bit weird.  They wrote word for word "sorry you cant use those cables, just bare wire or 4mm banana plugs only"   Oh well, not doubting you if you have it.  But yes they are sold out here and they are only getting new stock in March, plus the floorstanding Martin Logans sounded...

    Does anyone have experience with the Kef LS50?

    This is weird as I tweeted kef before and they said they can't accept spades, only banana plugs and bare wire? It's academic anyway as I ended up with the Martin logan 60xt speakers.

    Does anyone have experience with the Kef LS50?

    Can someone confirm that the kef ls50 can use speaker cables terminated in spades? I just tracked down a Damn nice set of speakers but it turns they run banana plugs or bare wire only :/

    Does anyone have experience with the Kef LS50?

    Will do for sure. I wasn't planning on the fathom but I got it at a steal. It is the most ridiculous thing. It weighs something like 56kg. The power amp also weighs around 53kg. I think the fathom will seriously fill any gaps in low down that the kefs can't fulfil. The speakers should arrive...

    Pioneer's First Hi-End Headphones: SE-Master 1

    I can't trust any pioneer products from now on. In the last month I've had my pioneer elite bluray player and avr die after 14 months. They are out of warranty and the pioneer service centre here says they won't repair them as they are "too old" and they don't carry the parts.

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    Hi im not clear on this.  I was looking to get a pair of White / Blue LS50s in the future with a different sort of amp - are you running them directly off the OPPO? Or is the oppo being used as a pre amp and are you using something else as a power amp?  I heard they are great speakers but need a...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    well..that sounds a bit weird.  While i love the EL8s they are not as good as the LCD3s..and im sure the Abyss will be even better.

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    For my desktop, i use my LCD3F's and my HD800s.   I only plugged in the EL8s because someone on here asked me to.   My Desktop headphones run balanced XLRs - where as the EL8s are just the single ended 3.5mm or with the 6.3mm jack.    Id love to hear the EL8s with a set of custom Norne...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    ok i honestly do agree with the bolded here.  For some reason, i like the sound of the EL8 + HA2 + Phone as opposed to my dedicated desktop amp...i know it sounds weird but i totally get where you are coming from.

    Audeze EL-8 vs Oppo PM-3 Impressions

    that's true.  I really did start with the "best" ( besides STAX and Abyss!) and now im kinda working my way down ;)

    Audeze EL-8 vs Oppo PM-3 Impressions

    most likely. The LCD3's sound incredible with the balanced norne draug 2's. They also have a couple of hundred hours of run in so it probably isnt fair.

    Audeze EL-8 vs Oppo PM-3 Impressions

    I just plugged my EL-8s into my oppo HA-1 for the first time.   From a cold start, the sound wasnt very impressive at all.  I had to run high gain as Normal was too soft.   It maybe unfair, but the difference between my Audeze LCD3's running Norne Draug II Balanced really is night and day. ...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    i posted very positive reviews in my PM3 vs EL8 comparison.   only two negatives for the EL-8, and those are nothing to do with sound.  (Lack of) Portability and the lack of case to transport things around in.  The unit looks and sounds amazing.

    Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone

    Could these run well on the OPPO HA-1 or would it not be powerful enough?
