new kef ls60s just arrived


We just got our display par of LS60s

 

as they are brand new we must break them in first.

 

the beauty of this product is how a few company’s are re-inventing, the audiophile lifestyle.

 

many reviewers don’t understand the value of products like the naim. muso and uniti lines. and what lifestyle products like kef and dali are delivering.

the question, will be how many people who are not audiophiles, will rediscover their love of music, come to a store and experience these lifestyle and conventional systems and choose what is the best solution for themselves for their particular rooms, budgets and applications.

the kef ls 60 and the Dali Rubicon c series and the atc actives all represent the

perfect solutions for our secondary rooms or for our family members. friends and relatives, wives and girlfriends will also approve.

Don’ t fight the future, instead embrace these products as gateways designed to bring new consumers into our hobby and keep our hobby alive and well into the future, as well as being the perfect solution for other rooms we would like to add great music to in a simpler more compact way.

We’re in Montecito, on the other side of Santa Barbara from you, probably around 15 - 20 minutes from UCSB. I look forward to hearing your setup. I have to keep an eye on the prospect of moving to a retirement community in town, with likely downsizing. Still, I could envision using my Ayre QX-5 Roon endpoint and an Ayre integrated with a pair of Blade 2 Metas.

In retrospect I see no reason not to put my Ayre DX-5 DSD, QX-5/20, and KX/5/20 in a 21" Salamander rack, with the VX-5/20 of the floor below the TV between Blade 2 Metas.  Not quite as neat as the LS60W, but not far off.

I had listened to both LS60 and the Pearl.

Both of them are priced the same and very capable performers. LS60 is more refined and sounds very smooth. A bit too smooth I think because instruments sounded kind of artificial, probably because of overly enthusiastic up-sampling. 

The Pearl is livelier and more detailed, but the high might be a tad sharp to some. 

But at their price point, I struggle to think of a passive setup that is as good. For the non-audiophiles or audiophiles with fuzzy wives/gfs, they are very attractive propositions. 

Surprised Darko did not mention Pearl Sub, a just add speakers sub, in his video.
