    What Amp for KEF LS-50s

    Van den Hul interconnect with carbon (the First "ultimate", the Second or the Third) will give you also a more analog touch. You could also try that.

    What Amp for KEF LS-50s

    Great choice :cheer: I have also choosen for the A70 above the A50 a few weeks ago. The A70 is much better (sweeter sound, more in balance) than the A50, it sounds also more powerfull...more lively. I bought a good pair of speakercables and analog interconect for cd player (PD50): Oasis 6...

    PIONEER class D amp (A50 & A70) users?

    That isn't correct David. The N50 and N30 use both the same AK4480 192kHz DAC (also used in their high-end blu-ray players). The N50 has a second transformer, better bottom plate, digital inputs and an asynchronous USB DAC for PC playback. But if that all matters in sound quality for netradio...

    +1 PP is right about this, and also the Arcam would be a great match with the MA's

    Yep, there are lot of discussions between cables.....let's don't do it over here ;) But for the topic starter: just what i said before.....give your speakers some running-in time first.

    In Holland the A70 costs £650, the A50 is £400. So the A70 costs £250 more (about 300 euro's). I'm still in doubt between them :? But: i bought a PD50 yesterday :dance: What a good looking player is this. Heavy, great build and nice working tray. The remote (part is made from alu) is great...

    amp for q acoustics 2020i

    Q Acoustics are making very good speakers for the money. Give them some time for running-in, especially the tweeter. Give them 100 to 150 hours of playing time, they will change and sounding sweeter. I had the Q1010 5.1. set a time ago in my home cinema also with Marantz. They sounded a little...

    PIONEER class D amp (A50 & A70) users?

    This is the only test/reviews i could find of the same hifi-magazine on internet. It's from Belgium, and they tested the A50 and the A70 (i'm Dutch so i translated it for you all) ;) A50 gets 4,5 star out of 5 and this is what they say: -precise, detailed and lively sound, good stereo image...

    KEF LS50 disappointment :(

    +1 Give them a good heavy stand, let's say Dreadnoughts (fill them 3/4 with birdsand or Atabites) or similar good stand. Toe them in a little bit:; less then 10 degrees. Give them some space, and with a decent amp they will sound fantastic. If they sound dull, shrill, not open, harsh etc...

    PIONEER class D amp (A50 & A70) users?

    Hello David, could you tell me more about the difference in sound between them? Which one was better with the Kef's? Is it really a big difference???, i mean the A70 is Air studio (European tuned) the A50 isn't....but is it complete different, say A50 is less warm? brighter? Hope you know the...

    PIONEER class D amp (A50 & A70) users?

    Hi guys, first Happy X-Mas to you all. I have a pair Monitor Audio GX50 standmounters eating dust over an year now in the loft. They are ways to good for that treatment.....so.....i want to build a class D set-up with them. Why Pioneer class D? I'm very charmed about the looks and building...

    KEF LS50

    Correctly set up is very important. Give them a decent heavy stand and blu-tack these babies on it. Just toe them in a little (max 10 grades). Use a good amp for feeding them (not to analytic and enough watts: 75 or more) and they will rock your socks off. O....and almost forget: give them some...
