Lets read Hans Wenzels review

I have been going back and forth between KEF and Tannoy too.

I am leaning towards the Tannoy XT6F’s or XT8F’s because I have heard so many good things about them. Reviews say that they have incredible imaging, lots of bass, and a very lively sound. The KEFs reportedly also have fantastic imaging, but I have never read anyone saying they get big bass response or “Lively” sound from the KEFs, which is why I am leaning towards Tannoy. I like a more lively and edgy speaker. The KEFs read as though they are a little more tame.

If I did go with KEF I would either do the LS50s on stands with a sub or the R500s. I think these are the two biggest players in KEFs $3k and under neighborhood.

1000hz read the review new Q have unbelievable bass and you can hear them Tannoy has almost 0 presence in the USA.

Couldnt go wrong with either new Q series is very special  also check out new Paradigms.

IME, the Tannoys have a lot of LS50 strengths but with greater bass dynamics and extension. Soundstage depth is superior as well. Clarity seems about par. Another advantage of the the XT6Fs is they don’t need as high quality an amp to get them singing and can play quite loud with just a handful of watts. Their 90db sensitivity is believable - if it’s inflated, probably only by a db at the most.

I did experience some bass boom when they were initially placed in my concrete-backed-wall basement system. It turned out they were just on a mode peak. I adjusted their wall distance and rake angle and all was well.

As I stated earlier, I think their weaknesses are really only those of omission. The soundstage doesn’t extend much beyond the width of the speakers, bass depth is understandably limited to around 40Hz, and they don’t have the greatest treble "air" or note decay, but that’s really nitpicking for a $1500 pair of speakers.

My only real gripe comes down to cabinet finish. I don’t agree with reviewers that they can pass for $6K^ speakers. While certainly acceptable for the $2K price, the veneering could be a little better. The veneers are not book-matched (though not very obvious in the dark walnut), and the edges could be neater. The finish is not quite at the level of Monitor Audio, who really set the benchmark in this price range.
