Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air

Wow..thanks everyone for the responses. I have some options to look into.

rego has a good question that highlights my quest - the ls50s are ever so slightly toed in...5 to 10 degrees at most. However, I'm pretty sure I'm getting their best which I said before is great. I really spent a lot of time with the best placement.

But my age, ears, preferences are changing for good measure. I'm older...I don't necessary prefer the sharp, focused, ferrai sports with body hugging seats...now I prefer to go slower, take turns easy, have a smoke and enjoy the scenery when I'm driving. I still prefer quality though. Maybe the best Jaguar for post middle aged male. Hope this makes sense. It does to me.

How are the LS 50s Placed ... ??? ... positioned with toe in ... ? try no toe in.

For that budget you can get a new pair of Vandersteen 1Ci… still in production, constantly improved since 1977. The Meta Kef are excellent 2 !

For that size room and sound, maybe an older pair of Vandersteen Model 1s or 2s?  Otherwise I'd second Harbeths.

@mapman - That's The Music Room...

I have both ls50s and ls 50 metas.  If its the ls50s, you currently have, you really can't beat ls50 metas for overall performance for exactly your budget.

I have had both evoke 20 and the small Harbeth. With my Pass lab integrated I preferred the Evoke(better bass and larger sound) over the small Harbeth. I also have a pair of the newer LS50 that I use with my tube amp. Using Dynaudio Special 40, and it is my favorite.

The Listening Room appears to just have received a number of B stock Harbeths that are up for sale.  Not a bad way to start with something different.
