I was astonished by the improvement when I moved a pair of LS50s into a different room. Room acoustics are critical. I’m now using LS50s for HT and KEF 1s for music with excellent results. The Ref 1s are driven by Ayre 5 Twenty series digital hub, preamp and amp. Source is mostly Roon via ethernet to the digital hub, but an Ayre DX-5 DSD is also available. Beginning next week, the LS50s will be driven by a 300 watt NAD M22; they sure seemed to love the 400 watt Parasound JC 1 monoblocks. I gave away my beloved KEF Ref 107/2s. I think the Ref 1s are excellent, and given my preference for baroque and jazz, I’ll use subs only for HT because the Ref 1s have adequate LF for the music I enjoy.
