KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms?

I am looking for a VERY revealing with razor-sharp imaging type of bookshelf,  but not the cost of TOTAL loss of musicality.... In other words, not necessarily full range, but at least balanced - not something that starts to roll-off at 200hz... They would be listened to mid-field, 6-7ft away in a somewhat open space.  Could it be the ls50, or is there anything else around their price-point? Thx for suggestions...

The ELAC VX-JET tweeter/mid is spectacular.

I just got focus 160 brand new for about 1/2 their normal price.

There are deals to be found because they’re discontinuing the Focus line I believe.

I trailed B&W (cm something?) Kef LS50 and Dyns...The Dyns have the sound I love...

RAIDHO RAIDHO RAIDHO! seriously, the x1/xt1/c1.1/d1.1 would all be killer. i use a c1.1 in my living room.

yes, i have a dealer affiliation. yes, you can see that i post about them alot - but notice that there is almost no other piece of gear i post about as much. i'm a sucker for these speakers :)

Yessir,
I entered a sweepstakes by Essence for HiRes Audio a few months ago where I had to write a blurb about why I should win them. I guess they liked it! The swepstakes entry link was posted on FB and I was already intrigued with the Airpulse speakers. If I may ask, are you using the dedicated stands or something else? I will definitely try to post my impressions soon.
