Hello all,
I listen to mainly Classical (big orchestral) music and have a significant birthday coming up next year!
Current setup Quad Vena II play as pre, QSP amp and Rega RS5 speakers.
The Regas have a good amount of bottom end but they are not the last word in definition and soundstage. They are however front ported so can sit fairly close to the wall without issue.
I do like a solid and accurate bass for percussion but not to the extent that lower strings get muddy
Obviously, I will listen to candidates but am wondering what you think of the Kef LS50 with the matching sub as a match for the Quad? That tells you my budget is around 1500-2000 but no higher!
Really like to hear instruments in a wide soundstage and liked the Audiophiliac review of the transparency and ‘disappearing sun’ of the Kef coupling.
Not a fan of overly bright top end but enough for clarity. Floor standers or stand mount fine and interested in stand mount with sun idea.
