^There’s a good chance your LS50s are placed on a room mode. If your speakers are somewhere between 2 and 3 feet from the forward wall, this is likely the case. These distances typically result in an upper bass null. It’s unfortunate because that distance allows decent soundstaging while remaining aesthetically acceptible. You might try moving the speakers to less than 20" from the forward wall (of course this will cause imaging to suffer) or try moving them 5 to 6 feet from the wall (measured to the centerline of the speaker cabinet).
LS-50 Speakers (Passive)
No matter where I and a friend reads, most people are raving about the Kef LS-50’s (passive version). However, sadly, neither one of us have heard them with no local dealer. The best would be to evaluate them in our respective rooms as the room accounts for about 1/3 of the sound.
Moreover, I recently heard that the new LS-50’s ((passive) are not the same as the originals as Kef tried to save some money. Is there any truth to this rumor? I certainly hope not so I thought I throw it out there and see the response I get.
Thanks for your input....
