KEF Reference 1 or LS60

The configuration of my single Salamander rack:

• Thorens TD-124 with SME III arm
• Ayre PN-5 phonostage
• Ayre DX-5 DSD disc player
• Ayre QX-5 Twenty Roon-ready DAC
• Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp

An Ayre VX-5 Twenty amp sits between KEF Reference 1s

I've decided to stick with this setup.  Relocating the KEFs greatly improved the sound.

I have auditioned LS-60's and also own Reference 1's. Mine are fed by a Luxman entry-level integrated amp, and still beat the LS-60's handily.

good decision

you can elevate this system further by adding footers under the components and under the speaker stands and adding a good power conditioner

I have the same KEF’s, is there anything in particular that you are missing or would like to improve? Positioning is important and can greatly improve performance, it sounds like you may have found some more magic doing that. I recently introduced some new amplification to my system and also spread the speakers out to about 8’ between tweeters, greatly improved soundstage. I think you can go further if you have space.
