About to purchase the Kef LS50W speaker want opinions about set up....


I recently heard the KEF LS50 Wirless speakers and can’t  believe how good they sound. I am looking for a system in my bedroom. My question is, I hear that the kef app is really bad and not worth using, since I have all my music on my computer in Flac, Will the Kef play it? Would I need to purchase an additional streamer, like the bluesound Node 2?

I bought mine a few weeks ago. I haven't put 50+ hours on them and the dedicated stands are still on backorder. They are amazing as is, I can't imagine how much better they will be once I put them on stands (filled) and put a few more hours on them. Really satisfied with the purchase. They sound way better than my previous system which was a little over $8k.

I haven't felt a need for a separate sub yet, but maybe I don't know what I'm missing. If someone has tried a fast, musical sub with them, I'll be interested in your review.
I don't know what the world is coming to.  Audiophile types are starting to recognize the merit of active designs?  I bought the Infinity Intermezzo 2.6's back in 2001.  They were half active, Stereophile and TAS both loved them but they didn't sell.  Audio Advisor blew them out for about half price not long after they came out.  I regret selling them as they were truly excellent.

Now we're hearing people who not only accept active speakers but speakers with digital conversion built in, digital crossovers, etc.  I hope it lasts.  It will bring the cost of high quality audio way down if it gets popular.  
@jon_5912 -- I would submit that in case of the KEF LS50 wireless, what helped them was the fact that the passive version was already a critical success. KEF just made it better.

To be honest, if I hadn't heard so much about the passive version, I would have never tried the active version. So at least for me, it was not some newfound appreciation for active monitors that made me buy them. It was the fact that I was already planning to buy the passive version, but the perceived lack of bass was making that decision difficult. The active version solved that problem.

As an example, I had thought about purchasing the Dynaudio Xeo 2 but there was no similarly shared pedigree with another base Dynaudio model as critically acclaimed as the passive LS50s. So I stayed on the sidelines at that time.

This is precisely why Phil Jones came out with the Airpulse Model one active monitor.  He feels high end audio is shooting itself in the foot and wanted to put forth a quality product at down to earth prices to make it more inclusive for the masses.  everyone who has heard them has nothing but great things to say and quite frankly I'm gobsmacked with how good they sound.  They are also quite competitive with the LS50's from what I understand for half the price
