In Reply to: KEF 105.2s are bright/harsh?? I want smooth speakers! Recommendations?? Anyone heard Rogers LS5/9? Other advice??? posted by Mr Blue Sky on March 27, 2007 at 15:08:48:
I thought I would post a duplicate of what I just put up at the vintage KEF forum just as an update to my situation with the 105.2s:"What attracts me to the KEF loudspeakers is the fact that I realize the T52 is probably the most well behaved and marvelous tweeter I've ever heard. It's also impossible to argue with the musicality of the B110. After last night's listening session, I've come to the conclusion....as I have in the past....that the 105.2 will give you exactly what you put into them. They are quite smooth, transparent, and Quad 57-like. However, stick a cold tube amp on them with a screechy cd....and yes, they will sound harsh. I saw god last night after my amp had been on for about 3 hours and I spun some vinyl. My problem is sources, not speakers.....however, I'm still interested in trying other units and yes...occasionally I panic and get brightitis, wherein I start to think my speakers are nasty sounding. Then I calm down and come back down to earth."
