  Those Fostex are new?  You modded them yet? :p

 
Not exactly new and yes I've modded all of them hahahah
 
It is like signing your own book. I just can't stop tinkering them for a bit!

  Been wondering about those KEFs.  
 
What do you like about them, if you don't mind?  Use a sub(s) with them?

I find them ridiculously good for the price.
 
They scale tremendously with higher end components. I'm using a PSaudio PWDMKii and a Ayre AX-7e with mine which are significantly more expensive than the speaker itself, but I have no qualms about it. I even purchased the dynaudio C1 top-plate because right after getting the LS50 and the dynaudio stand for it, I thought I would eventually upgrade because a 1500 dollar speaker could only get so good. 
 
Even though I had this upgrade path, I haven't found the need to upgrade to the C1 yet, these are just that great. 
Imaging and a beautiful midrange would be how I would describe this. As these are in a small room, I cannot comment much on the soundstage but I can say that it does extend beyond the speakers.
 
They just sound authentic i guess. They have a distinct centre image which works brilliantly with anything with a main vocal, and can really pressurise a room well despite their small size.

Finished my new amp enclosure for the O2 which looks way better than the original if I say so myself :) The ODAC is installed in the rear. Of course I started working on it before I was able to get the HE-500, so it matches the old Grado SR-225is. If I ever decide to sell the O2 or the 225s, I think I'll have to bundle them and sell them together. Anyway, I'm loving the 500s.
