Phantom and LS50 Wireless

[MountainGuy]

Just as a caveat, i don't have either speaker, but my impression is that comparing the KEF L50 Wireless should be compared to the Gold, not the Silver and that comparisons to the Silver are not apt.

When considering the relative cost, surely the most valid comparison would be with a pair of white Phantoms?

Validity is relative to what one is seeking. 

From cost as a consideration, indeed white would be more appropriate.  White extends much lower in the bass so the LS50 would need a pair of subs. 

For those who want the best all in one without additional subs, golds would be a good benchmark.  Just depends on one's criteria.
