Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?


It's really tiring. Audiophools, Snake Oil, why buy this/that. I don't give a rip what others do, although I like to read about it but none of my business. I'm just not geared that way. People want to buy a Lambo, 10,000 buck cables, 100,000 buck loudspeakers, it's no skin off my nose yet some people are obsessed with what others do. I don't get it.

@larsman I would stongly recommend using a subwoofer system with the LS 50s.  I another recent post on another thread I recommended a Rythmik sub for the Kefs, but there are many out there that will fill the bill, including distributed bass arrays.

I am currently using a single REL t/5 with Harbeth P3 speakers.  By crawling around on the floor I was able to get good placement that limits resonant peaks and nulls.  I've also balanced the output and crossover to just gently introduce the low frequencies (nothing dramatic; but enough to open up the sound).  I may add another t/5 someday, but I'm pretty satisfied with what I have.

"Having owned Grado60s and LS-50s, I can tell you there is an audio world out there that is a quantum leap past that level of gear. But I do agree with what you were trying to say. "

I would venture to say that the difference between the LS 50w system and a million dollar system is less than the difference between LS 50s and typical laptop speakers.

A pair of Kef LS 50 self powered wireless speakers can get you stereo audio that should satisfy most people for a lifetime.  Anything more expensive than that will only be incrementally better

Some live in an alternate reality. I want to have what you are smoking.

Ever notice how some say they don't have a dog in this fight and end up on a soapbox tugging at the leash before they finish? 

All the best,
