Cno,
A little off topic but I can vouch for the Redgum amplifiers mentioned driving the LS50 in your link, I heard one quite a few yers ago and it was astonishingly good and so much better than anything else at the price at that time that imo , the prices have risen considerably now it seems but if you ever get a chance please listen to one you will see what I mean .
The stongest memory I have is the Redgum salesman telling me that the amps were indestructable and then getting a large metal bulldog clip and shorting across the amp output terminals whilst the music was playing causing a large shower of sparks and a temporary crackle from the speakers but as soon as the clip was removed the amp and music carried on unaffected :O 8)

I made the link as it gave a little insight into how they compared with other good speakers of a similar ilk, as well as Kef's own X300A. It also used them with three less well known amps (I'd never heard of Redgum).

I think you'd be obliged to use them with Roksan's Oxygene system ...

My speakers are white and I guess I do have a somewhat Bauhaus style apartment (my coffee table is based on a design by Mies van de Rohe) but I'm not sure why you think it should be copied from anywhere. Everybody has their own preferred style and that is mine.

PS I don't smoke (does anybody still smoke?), my kids have kids of their own, don't get very much direct sunlight and my cleaner does the dusting.
