I just heard the KEF LS50 speakers at Echo Audio in Portland, Oregon (a great hi-fi dealer by the way). WOW was my immediate impression. I own Magico S5 speakers so I am partial to sealed cabinet design. But the KEF LS 50s did not have any of the chuffing or breathing or sloppiness usually found in ported designs. The controlled and articulate bass, spacious (and deep!) soundstage, grainless mids and highs, coherence and musicality of this little speaker floored me given its price and size. These sound better than a couple USD $4,000-$8,000 speakers from high-end brands I've auditioned. Needless to say, I walked out with a pair. Nicely done, KEF!!
