Low-pass is by a Velodyne SMS-1 bass manager that provides acoustic room correction, high-pass by a balanced passive Marchand. The KEFs are driven by Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp and VX-5 Twenty amp. Sources are Roon via Ethernet through a QX-5 Twenty and a DX-5 DSD disc player. I'm never aware of the mains and subs as separate sonic sources.
KEF Reference 1s or Wilson Sophias
I’m using KEF Reference 1s driven by an Ayre XV-5 Twenty amp and augmented by a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s with bass management. The sound is excellent. I have a fond memory of the sound with Wilson Sophias, but a memory 20 years old. Has anyone had an opportunity to compare the sound with these two speakers within a closer time frame? If so, what are your thoughts?
