the kef ls50 is a speaker that has a lot of praise from reviewers including what hifi.
however, like myself, many struggle to get a sound out of them that was "inline" with the glowing reviews...
(i was using a musical fidelity m6i, 200w, rrp £2500...)
i understand that these speakers thrive with good (expensive ?) amplification hence with a retail price of £800 are these speakers under priced if they need to be matched with much costlier amplifiers ?
or are they just overrated on the grounds that many people have purchased them and, like me, struggled to get them to sound great ?
one final note is that i was informed that kef had originally intended the retail price to be around £1500. i was also told that one of the reasons for the release of the ls50w, with its built in amplifiers, was because many people had asked / complained to kef as regards to which amplifier is best for the ls50 !
