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.

No experience with the Emerald Physics but I have the LS50 and its great.

I pair mine with Virtue Audio M5001 ICEBlocks (based on ICE power just like your W4S). Great match ! Has a slightly dark and creamy tone and well suited for your music tastes.

Don't stinge on the stands though. An Atacama Nexus 6 was underwhelming. An old Atacama SE24 was much better. It really flew with a Partington Super Dreadnought.
