Has anyone heard these? Thinking of getting a pair. Maybe pair them with an NAD 3020 D. What do you guys think.
ls50's???
seems an odd two to compare given they sit at wildly different price points.
hmm not sure id call the dalis "fun" poppy maybe but i typicaly take "fun" to mean pretty V shaped sounding.
i wouldnt think of kef as "fun" either.
for british (im assuming your in the uk by your choices) id have said look more to Monitor Audio or Acoustic Energy for a more "fun" sound
ahh well the NAD should give you warm and the kefs and dalis should give you middy.
tbh ive always would kefs to be a abit boring and flavourless, granted ive not heard many and certainly not the LS50. of the couple dalis i was very taken with their mids very sumptuous and soulful sounding.
i find it odd your mostly looking it brittish stuff as the speakers we can get tend to be harder for find in the US and vice versa, still if you like a more middy sound it makes sence. lots of american stuff can be really brash and aggressive especially with the bass.
if youre looking for middy and like concentric you might also want to have a look at Tannoy stuff
well i wouldnt say specifically good stuff comes form europe, there are many good US makers too but stylistically american stuff ive found tends towards big brash V shaped and powerful, stuff thats dramatic and grabs your attention. british stuff and to a lesser extent european tends towards a more sedate, and often smaller speaker. in the UK "bookshelf" or stand mount speakers are much more the norm and a bit more focus on quality ranther than quantity out of a huge floor stander.
ive always thought that Klipsch is the archetypal American maker. even visually they just scream at you.
