RE: Kef Ls-50 vs Harbeth Monitor 30.1

The amphion one18 are, by far, the most accurate speaker I have ever heard. the amount of information is truly incredible, with holographic imaging, a focused and solid phantom image. I have talked about it in length and you can find my findings all over the net and comparison between ref3a decapo, AN J Lx, salk continuum, ect.

I'm using right now Wilson Audio cub II, again, the amphion are another league compared to all those speakers, wilson included.

I have recently tried the original chartwell ls3/5a and that speaker made me realize that something less detailed and more smooth and warm could be more to my liking.
the amphion are so fast and detailed, that sometimes, I find them a bit puzzling to understand the musical passage. musicality may be a bit lost under all the details. the chartwell clearly show only the musical intent and makes listening very ''Easy'' and soothing.

@ b.l.zeebub as I said, the amphion are by far better then a lot of very well reknown speaker I have tried. I think you are refering here to the ions? the pro line amphions do not show 10% THD, dont have forward bass nor wolly imo. they are the best bass I have ever heard in a bookshelve and truly is the best bass I have compared so far. the amphion at gearslutz is not a hype, its a fact. they are truly incredible speakers and so far, nothing I have ever had or heard came close, tbh. and I have had and heard quite a lot.
can you please provide a link of your british review?

Let's see for monitor 30.1

but the experience with amphion led me to believe that perfect accuracy may not be the best approach for best musical pleasure listening experience.
