Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades

I wish I could go to Munich, not just to compare the Kef vs Vandy’s, but also to finally listen to a pair of MBL’s.
Unfortunately, my gardens need my attention.

Audiotroy,

Lets's just say that I was involved with Legacy and it's designer when they were first building speakers in a two car garage. And followed many years after that.

Mr M that still doesn't answer our questions to is the system that you had the same and you only swapped the Legacy's for the Vandys?

Also doesn't answer the vintage we heard Legacy for years and we thought their speakers were good but not great, it is only with the recent series of products did we get on board a few years ago and have been thrilled with them. Earlier versions were not as coherent and the older drivers were not in the same league as the current Heil AMT and the new silk and graphite midrange driver.

my God, something must be right.....

yes designing a great speaker using first order slopes is very difficult and requires drivers that do not breakup for much larger operating bands. There are of course other brilliant speaker designers. Does KEF make a stand or recommend a speaker height in the LS50 manual ?

IF you were paying attention to reading others posts vs just selling, you would know that I spend a good bit of time in a studio with a pair of ATC... I am quite aware of what they can do. But I also know the whims of fashion in that business..JBL, genelec, Yamaha, etc....run by many of the same people bringing you loads of compression and albums with 10 dB of dynamic..range
for the record studio owner prefers his Focal mounted side by side....

hopefully the OP gets time to just listen to the music......
