Any Tannoy XT8f vs Kef LS50 meta comparisons?

So I ended up getting the Tannoys and I'm super super stoked right now. Made a huge difference in imaging, high end detail, base works for the room. Damn I love this hobby...lol

i hated the sound of the 8XTF.
muddy overblown peaky bass
crispy edgy lower treble, 8 in woofer to 1 in tweeter makes for compromises in the crossover frequencies.

i loved the LS50s when i owned them, the Metas are voiced more natural. no brainer for me.

Well, Tannoys aren’t for everyone, @avanti1960
Looks like OP is really enjoying his, as I’ve enjoyed all my Tannoys and still do today.
Good to hear your results, @jin78!

I'm learning that there are so many different variables with systems and rooms, speaker placement yada yada. I must say that boomy bass wasn't my experience at all. The bass is hitting tightly and sounds natural, never gets annoying or overpowering. But that's in my room. I can see where some might consider these speakers bright and edgy, for me it was a revelation in detail and sound stage. I'm sure equipment and tube selection also affects all this. I would still love to get a pair of LS50s to compare, but based on information from others with experience with the LS50s, I concluded they may want more power than what I'm giving them with the stereo 100. On top of that, I got a screaming deal on these speakers. This setup will definitely have me set for a while

@mulveling thank you! They are beautiful to look at and the sound is an incredible upgrade from what I had before. For the price I paid I'm not sure what can be complained about...
