@GoingGoingGone how do you find them, are you happy with them?
All the best
In two minds.
My listening situation is not typical and the LS50W sit only 0.5m to 0.7m away in a PC desktop setup with distance between speaker centres of just 0.9m. As such I usually play lowish volume where they can sound great. Like good headphones but without any pressure on the ears
Up the volume and not so good at times.
With some content they sound superb, others absolutely dreadful. So far I'd say they suit well recorded and mastered voices and instruments. With those it is possible to follow every instrument individually, and I've heard stuff going on I'd never noticed before.
A downside: at times with the LS50W I get the feeling of not being able to hear the wood because of the trees. The music sometimes doesn't gel together as a whole and is more just lots of seperate individual elements. But this could be due to the close near field listening location.
Also to me they suit more simple arrangements than wall of sound congested rock where they don't have the bass weight to give a decent representation at higher volumes.
Although the LS50W are rated to go to 105dB at full volume I doubt I've ever get near that as so far the treble is just too harsh sounding to my ears at higher volumes. Even at lower volumes I find I have to use the eq controls in MusicBee player on the PC to cut the treble at times.
I've read 200 hours are needed for the speakers to bed in, I doubt I'm even half way there yet so I'm hoping things will improve in time.
