I heard them at RMAF 2012 and I wasn't blown away. I don't remember now what was in the electronic chain though.

-- Kudos again Peter for the professionalism showing in your videos.

You walk around the room perfectly, in sync, and even your mic is of good quality as you can hear nicely that beautiful piano jazz playing.
- I like those KEF speakers (LS50); they are cute and seem to be well (smartly) designed indeed for best sound reproduction. ...And of course they are affordable, not like the $30,000 Blades.

And I agree with Jack; that gentleman (Johan) from that room seems to be real nice.
We would for sure welcome him here if ever he'd like to join our friendly forums.

* Another thing I like also in your videos Peter; your voice. ...You have a very tuneful voice, peaceful, clear, articulate, and pleasant.

That was a great video Peter!

We just started to carry KEF at Madrona. I listened for a few minutes to the LS50. It has a warm sound with a lot more bass than I expected. The enclosure is very solid and really well built for a bookcase speaker. I felt almost no resonances in it. We have only had it for a couple of weeks but everyone who hears it (and the rest of the line) seems to like them.

I liked that video Peter, very good audio too!

I wondering now if these new Kef x300a powered speakers are even better than the LS-50's at almost half the cost!..

The Kef LS-50 is a good little speaker BUT for that price there are better speakers out there and for ME for an extra $300.00 i would choose these.

Have you heard the LS50

 

[Peter Breuninger]

I haven't seen ProAc for a while. I'm surprised they are not at the shows. They used to be imported by a fellow named Richard Gerberg in the Beltway vicinity. They are wonderful loudspeakers.

 

[MrAcoustat]

Have you heard the LS50

Yes Steve i heard both speakers and for ME the Proac was the better speaker BUT $300.00 more.

 

[Steve Williams]

I agree about Proac but for me being able to be able to buy the LS50 for THE Show special was an amazing deal at $1200.

I don't know, but the NS1000s are part of just one of his eight system:
