KEF LS50 vs Sonos Play 5

If we give the ls50 meta more in amplifiers and source quality, because, let's not forget, the hegel also has an excellent streamer and dac inside. So...

I mean come on! Sonos is a godsend. First of all, they are the cleanest looking speakers around, the app control is amazing, the sound is amazing, the fact that you can build your setup piece by piece is amazing and don’t even get me started on the SUB!!

The second thing yeah, I didn't notice slightly lower base depth, but I was surprised that was actually not a big difference as the size between these...

Steve wasn't blown away by the speaker, particularly for the price (he said it delivered a lot of bass but otherwise sounded a little "boxy" and had some sibilance in the treble). But Ty and I were more enthusiastic about it because we've listened to a lot of these tabletop wireless speakers and don't have such high expectations.Sure, the price is somewhat lofty for a single speaker (or a pair) and you're probably going to get better sound for the money from a good set of affordable wired bookshelf speakers hooked up to a budget amplifier. We also know a single speaker just isn't going to produce a monster sound stage and have good stereo separation

I'M on the description, patreon link in the description which the patreon will help send these to that guy before his birthday probably to day, and th...

Both models have these little rubber feet on three of the sides, as they can be stood in two different orientations vertical or horizontal, and these ...

FYI, the midrange issue might be due to the Cambridge CXA amp, which has a reserved sound from reviews.

If you have 3+ of these, they are great. But they are great for the SAME reason that I gave them a 2/5..

I eventually looked at my space and realized that if I moved my sofa up by 2 feet I would miss the door way and could place my surrounds on the walls in the proper place and I also could get rid of the shitty Samsung RUGarbageTV I had and get a 65” OLED and get the same field of view.

However, it's a suitable choice for users looking to incorporate a sleek-looking speaker into their Apple ecosystem.

so I’m back to say these are a significant upgrade to OG LS50S. I’ll add my dainty polite nice hopefully acceptable comment. Such beautiful sound so very very worth the $1500 asking price. Oh my just give Bezos your $ he needs more billions

The best example of this is Amazon’s $200 Echo Studio. It might not be quite at the level of the Play:5 if you did a listening test, but Amazon is coming closer and closer at a significantly cheaper price.

I love the wireless convenience of the HEOS AVR and HEOS 1 with controlling everything over the app.

Will update the review if/when I actually hear back from them. 2/19 update: Was going to change this to 4 stars, as they did replace my unit. Still curious what will happen when the wireless quits after the warranty expires, as they don't seem very user-serviceable. My new complaint is with their software

I’m gna say that I know very little about speakers and sound but after much research- I have bought myself the Kef ls50 wireless version 1 and are awaiting speaker stands today- currently they are on the floor. Anyway- I listen to a lot of EDM and house music- but I’m finding the bass very “tight”, very “short”, almost “tappy” it doesn’t sound like the same bass on my AirPods or previous speakers.

This is the best work Sonos has done yet, and it's an outstanding addition to their already excellent lineup of wireless multi-room audio speakers.

Replaced my 5.1 home theater setup with a much smaller 2-channel system. The previous setup was way too cramped in this NYC apartment.

Figured I would share as a lot of this sub tends to always gravitate towards bigger is better, but I think it should really try to fit the space.

I typically prefer them to three-way designs and towers in almost every situation, but i did want to see if the ls50 meta would fare any differently, ...

Which ever you get, they will be loud, in your face, and they are quite large too (desk space, floor space, wall space).
