How many metres will you need?Pipila said:One more short question:
- how important are speaker cables for LS50, what price level is recomended, or, if possible, which brand?
They were around (or should I say I was), but just never heard themRoundhead 5000 said:No Problem, they're probably a bit before your time :rofl:
I used Chord Rumour in my own system with them, but have used Epic and Odyssey with them before in demos. Most of the Chord cables seem to suit well, but I would probably the less warm sounding ones like Sarsen, Rumour and Epic, unless you like that kind of thing, or need a little warmth to offset brighter electronics.Pipila said:One more short question:

If you are considering Chord Rumour then Van Damme OFC maybe better, several ex Rumours users found that to be the case and its cheaper also, at around £5pm for 4mm.David@FrankHarvey said:I used Chord Rumour in my own system with them, but have used Epic and Odyssey with them before in demos.

Is that each speaker?Pipila said:4 meters
This is debatble but its probably best to have the cables of a similar length. So you may need 6-8m of cable.Pipila said:The Amp and network player are supposed to be placed in bottom left corner, close to the left speaker, so the other speaker will be on the very right side (guess at least 3m far from amp).
@David: in your opinion, how does the Marantz Pearl Lite amp & cdp duo work with the LS50s? In comparison to the Pioneer and Rotel models, would this be a better match or not?David@FrankHarvey said:The minimum amplifier I'd personally recommend would be something like the Pioneer A50 (usually around £400) and the Rotel models (starting at £349).
The Marantz is on the warmer side. It won't sound as tight as the Pioneer, but those that feel the LS50 is a little too forward will probably like the LS50/Pearl Lite combo. They will work very well together, but personally I prefer things a little tighter.nikiniki said:@David: in your opinion, how does the Marantz Pearl Lite amp & cdp duo work with the LS50s?

Impressive stuff, given they are less than half the price...........enjoy. :rockout:ErwinC said:Because i owned the LS50 till a few months ago and i now own the Concept 20.
I already liked the 2020i a lot (just like the LS50), but the Concept 20 is really something special imo. It is more detailed, more musical and more open than the LS50 and it has a protective grilleAll in my opinion of course. But most af all, everytime i listen to the Concept 20, a big smile appears on my face. :dance:

Even more intreguing comments, gosh even more detail than the LS50's..............:O .............the grill would be a big plus....|( .....
They are placed on a cabinet, but i use Auralex propad monitor isolation tabs between the speakers and the cabinet. Works very well.alchemist 1 said:How are they for positioning ?
Also do you use the matching stands ?............![]()
