Yeah, apples and oranges

The LS50s do best in small rooms. Driven too hard / loud (to fill up a larger room), and they can distort or sound thin. And they do need better electronics to sound their best. Preferably tubes.

A better comparison would be against the MiniMags. Although the ribbons on the Maggies would sound nicer to some, the Kefs would most certainly be more dynamic. Then there is the whole mono vs dipole thing, so the listener will be bias as to what they prefer.

I always get a kick out of how, thanks to all the "glowing reviews" and "class A recommendation", the little LS50s have a big target on their back. I bet KEF has sold a boatload of them though :)
