Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

These are a great value in the audiophile world. Fullness of sound and articulation. Roller-coaster of dynamic sound.

These deserve the praise they have received. The current price makes them the clear choice in ‘bookshelf’ speakers. Unless you have a very subpar amp, these speakers will sound fine.

They are a better value from a ground zero level. Toe them in just a little have them out from the walls and ohhhhhhpah!

There is far more than meets the eye going on with the ls50s. Highs and mids and soundstage are superior to all of the aforementioned speakers. Ls is never harsh unlike any other metal dome i've heard. The right amplifier for the ls50s, no matter what...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


The ls50 was driven by marantz sr7200 mated with onkyo c7030 cd player

Competitiveness


I used these to replace a set of 15inch cerwin vega barnshakers that i came to understand were simply overwhelming the room


I had a pair of q300 and q150 since 8 years ago

    I compared these to a pair of martin logan bookshelf speakers and felt the tone was duller with the martin logans
