So I have now got my new ls50's and an arcam a19 amp and I finally realise what hifi is.
ive had interest in hifi for years but more towards home cinema, all the talk I hear about warm, bright, detailed, scale sound etc etc I never understood until now.
these speakers are amazing and I really wonder what spending thousands give back, if I'm honest I don't think the amp does them justice, I'm listening in a small dining room off kitchen only 3m x 3m and the amp is on 90 out of 100 most of the time, which Is very loud but I do think should go to about 125.
the speakers though are amazing and everyone should at least try them to benchmark what they want to achieve from their own system either spending less or more. Everything is new so needs running in and at the moment I'm using a cheap aux cable from my iPhone running spotify as a source (irdac coming soon) but it still sounds amazing.
hurt by Christians aguilera is my fav test song currently, I used my my ma rx6 with the arcam before and although good this is what made me understand scale when I hooked up the ls50's they just sound 'bigger'
all the reviews I've seen of the ls50 are positive and I would not disagree at all, the a19 though I'm not so sure, I'll keep an open mind when run in but I tried the ls50's with my denon 2312 receiver and if I'm honest the receiver sounded as good, different but still good.
anyway back to the point have a listen to the ls50's if you want to hear what good speakers should sound like.
