Tekton Impact Monitors
I just measured my LS50’s including the IsoAcoustic stands and they are 20.5"h x 8"w x 9.5"d, with the concentric tweeters level with my ears. So, the audio sickness in me says, Hey, they aren’t much bigger than what I have now ;-) I also have a p... 
Tekton Impact Monitors
I have considered upgrading my KEF LS50's, however they are part of a large desktop system, (4' x 6'), and the Tekton monitors may be to large for a desktop system. Does anyone have any experience with both the LS50's and the Impact Monitor?

Best way to connect multiple amps to one DAC using RCA's?
It would be interesting to hear others solution to splitting the DAC signal to multiple headphone amps (3-4), plus an integrated amp. 
Best way to connect multiple amps to one DAC using RCA's?
Using this type to split the signal from the PS Audio. Are you splitting to two amps, or more? The splitter I mentioned in the OP may allow larger interconnects due to not being side-by-side.

Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2?
213runnin, by the way, I am very pleased with the LS50's bass response. I do have a couple of subs under my desk-top setup, however occasionally I turn them off for comparison to being on, and sometimes forget they are off, and not notice much of ... 
Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2?
I am using the LS50's for my desktop system and think the concentric tweeter helps for nearfield imaging and soundstage, since they are so nearfield, but am curious how the Sierra 2 and LS50 compares... 
Looking for good bookshelf speakers less than $1k
That looks like good stuff Roscoeiii. The speakers are about 4 ft apart and will be up off the desk to be level with my ears, which would put the tweeter at ~ 18", (Top of speaker is 2 ft off desktop). So it looks like I will need a good diffusion... 
Looking for good bookshelf speakers less than $1k
Well, I found a smoking deal on the LS50's and HAD to get them:)! I'm very impressed initially, however I will withhold judgment until 200+ hours burn-in. When first set up, my desk was facing out into the middle of the room and they had an unbeli... 
Looking for good bookshelf speakers less than $1k
Thanks for the explanation Mapman. I plan to use the current orientation for new speakers. The rear inside of the speakers are within an inch of the wall and the rear outside is about 6 inches from the wall. They are toed in with the tweeter level... 
Looking for good bookshelf speakers less than $1k
Thanks Chrshanl and Mapman for your input. Could anyone describe what happens when a rear-ported speaker is placed within a couple of inches of the wall, (probably with some toe-in as well), so I know if I definitely have to rule them out? On my 4...
