@bluemoodriver,
"Whatever - you do really think that you can buy a speaker which will make your bedroom sound like that?"
"Audio at home is an illusion, but at least it is one where you get shape your delusions."
That’s a hugely relevant point since hardly anyone talks about the limitations (or expectations) of audio playback. The usual mantra is that every new product is wonderful, much better than the previous one. All you need to do is to keep on upgrading, blah, blah, blah..
I think some folks will inevitably drift into serious audio from the world of Walmart / Bluetooth systems etc without any real idea of what is or is not actually possible.
Their initial expectations may or may not meet with disappointment many years and many dollars later upon discovering what is actually possible by domestic audio, at any price.
So to entirely avoid this dilemma it’s a great idea to listen to what are considered the best systems currently available and see if they work for you.
If they don’t, then although it’s not impossible, it’s unlikely that anything else will either.
At least the OP has managed to listen to both the KEF LS50s and the Blades and whilst his opinions might be shared by some, others might feel different, ie they are both awesome designs pushing the sonic envelope at their price points.
Giving the OP the benefit of the doubt, it could simply be that his views are a reflection of the difference between comparing against an absolute sonic ideal or merely comparing against the existing competition.
It’s quite clear by now that he’s dissatisfied with most of what is currently available. Maybe, just maybe he really does believe he is on some evangelical mission to raise the prevalent sonic standards of domestic audio playback?
If so, then long may he continue.
