The Absolute Sound - ELAC Navis Review
I had the LS50W and Elac Navis at home and did A/B testing. To try to have a level playing field I fed a signal from my external DAC through the LS50W RCA input which sounded considerably better than using only the internal DAC on the LS50W. My ob...

Elac Navis stand mount vs Kef LS50 wireless
I compared the Elac Navis ARB51 and the LS50W at home with an A/B switch over about a week using a Schiit Saga preamp and an LKS MH-DA004 DAC in a small 11 ft x 13 ft room. I used the RCA input on the LS50W and a sound meter to ensure the volume l... 
KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ??
lgoler Why not try the new ELAC Navis and ditch the KEF LS50W altogether, since its active, can be wireless, but doesn’t force one to use an onboard DAC, allowing for much more flexibility in the signal chain? transience OP The Navis is a great op...

LS50 Wireless fail, or is old gear that good?
b_limo A friend of mine went with the Active Ls50’s and set up properly, they are amazing! They (Active Ls50’s) don’t seem to care what signal you are feeding them; they always sound pretty dang good. The imaging, timing and coherance are like not... 
KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ??
Sorry for veering off topic. I also 100% agree with the assessment that the RCAs on the LS50W sound notably better than the USB port. I’m streaming from a computer and also use a turntable, both going through the LS50W RCAs at the moment. I haven’...

KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ??
transience OP17 posts11-10-2018 5:12pmp.s. I run a very carefully considered system of separates now, but the LS50W remain in my eyes a screaming bargain :)I’m using LS50 because it’s all I need for my 10 x 12 room. How much do you think I would n...

LS-50 Speakers (Passive)
I have passive LS50 with a Vincent SP-331 (the lower end model around $1300), a Schiit Saga preamp, a Schiit Modi Multibit. The combo sounds very good but I don’t really want to spend thousands on better equipment to pair with the LS50. I was goin... 
Emotiva xpa 2 gen 2 power amp
As to the Emotiva A-300, I’m using a A-300 with LS50 speakers and a Mimby DAC and the sound is really great in my small 10 x 12 office. Some tracks sound incredible, like the music is being played live in the room.
