I'm learning that there are so many different variables with systems and rooms, speaker placement yada yada. I must say that boomy bass wasn't my experience at all. The bass is hitting tightly and sounds natural, never gets annoying or overpowering. But that's in my room. I can see where some might consider these speakers bright and edgy, for me it was a revelation in detail and sound stage. I'm sure equipment and tube selection also affects all this. I would still love to get a pair of LS50s to compare, but based on information from others with experience with the LS50s, I concluded they may want more power than what I'm giving them with the stereo 100. On top of that, I got a screaming deal on these speakers. This setup will definitely have me set for a while
