Hi!
I have the KEF LS50 Wireless and I really like them but there is undoubtedly potential in the low end. Now I am considering buying a sub or replace them with two Devialet Phantom Classics. The Golds are out of my budget and even the Classic force me to stretch. I also listen to the Reactors but I do not like the mids and highs and find them a bit compressed in comparison with my LS50W. Therefore, I have the following questions:
- Are the Classics substantially better in mids and highs as the Reactors?
- Do they work for movies (dialogues, background soundtracks, etc.) and does the "auto switch" mode work, i.e. I start TV, the Phantoms plays the TV sound?
- For those who also know the LS50W: Are they in the same league as LS50W + Sub?
- Do they also work for classic / acoustic music?
I know, it's a subjective question and depends on the individual preferences but all information helps me and I am not able to test the Classic in the Stores due to Corona Lockdown.
Thank you!
