I posted some impressions in the speaker forum on findings between my phantom silvers and newly acquired kef ls50 wireless.
as the kefs are not fully broken in yet I will not go into too much detail.
the reson I post a thread here, is that I just discovered that I can use my Astell & Kern 120 II to stream to the Kef directly and wirelessly. While I cant stream DSD due to DAC limitations in the KEF, I can stream FLAC 192/24 without issues...however, requiring most of the bandwith of my router.
as mentioned in the other thread, the kef are far superior in the midrange, midbass and treble region. the bass itself is more textured with more insight into instrument layers.
I do love my phantom silvers for electronic music with the thumping bass, but for all else the Kef are worthwile an audition for any fan of good quality sound.
I enjoy both very much for what they do but for audiophile ambitions it is the kef hands down.
