I purchased the LS50's on Amazon in case I felt the need to return them at some point. So far I only have maybe 30 hours on them but they sound rather bright and lacking in weight or authority. I know they're not floor standers but given the reviews and other much more expensive monitors I've heard, I was expecting more.
Maybe the room isn't well suited since there's no back wall, but a back alcove. Also the 36" stands are probably too high.
I'm using Cary Audio Cinema 11 preamp and Cinema 5 amps to drive. If things don't improve dramatically they'll go back to Amazon in a couple weeks. Almost painful to listen to most material on at the moment.
