grabbed a pair of KEF LS50s Friday and have been listening to them over the weekend. Just finished listening to one of my go to cd's for reference: Cassandra Wilson's "Belly of the Sun". A favorite when played through my Maggies over the years.

But what I heard through the LS50s was just as special. Along with crystal clear clarity, I heard her background singers standing side by side along with individual height of each singer and just left of stage on the song "Waters of March) Cassandra stands near center stage, tallest of them all.

Ah-but what 'floored' me was half way through the song 'Wichita Lineman' (a slow, mellow remake of the classic) there's suddenly a brief pause, the room goes quiet for a second or two- and you can distinctly hear Cassandra turn her head and clear her throat!

I replayed that about 5 times because I simply couldn't believe my ears. Never heard that through my Maggies before..

I'll most likely do a review of the LS50s in the following days.
