Kef LS50 vs. Emerald Physics CS3 mk2


I'd be shocked if more than a few people have heard these heads up, but that's what I'm narrowed down to on paper. Any thoughts/opinions? The Kef's I plan to go audition, the EP's prove a touch more challenging to hear... I lean towards a warm rich tone w/ fast dynamics. Music tastes tend towards jazz/blues/classic rock.

i got the LS50 for a system in another room. they are so amazing that i got rid of my $12k tower speakers in my main listening room and put the KEF on stands. i did add a musical, tight sub, but keep the volume at 10% as to not distort the fluid transparency that comes out of the LS50.
the KEF must be the audiophile bargain of the century, utter and total giant killers.
i also compared with other, far more expensive bookshelf speakers (i'll omit the brand as to not offend anyone), and the LS50 massacred them.
