Due to WAF, location of closets, bathroom, entry door and windows, etc. my speakers are located within a foot of where they will have to remain - lol. I have settled on my amp/server with the NAD - happy with my Cary and Oppo CD/SACD (and their DACs) setup. I’m very happy with NAD. I’m trying to optimize what I have with better speakers. So I’ve tried 6K Pioneers, the KEFs and the supposedly world beating Tektons (which are at the size limit my other half will allow). So far the little KEFs are the only ones that make me smile - I haven’t had a chance to get back to Quest to audition the KEF Reference 1 but owner thinks that if like the LS50 I’ll love those. So that is my next step. Unfortunately no unlimited funds either - lol.
phcollie - no, 1st gen LS50 and I haven’t been back to his shop. Reference 1 lists for about $8K aren’t the Reference 3s more expensive?
bryhifi - I’ll make sure I check out the JAS and compare
noromance - I was happy with the SVS sub - have you compared SVS to the REL? Both are well reviewed and reasonably priced
Thanks for all the good opinions and advice
