RE: Okay -

I compared the KEF LS 50s to all the other speakers at the 2012 CAS, and only a handful were
ancient types. Certainly Magico and MBL are NOT ancient type of speakers.
Your claim that you could identify the 50s tweeter as being metallic, despite the fact that it does not sound bright or etched, leaves me wanting, once again, for a blind listening test. You already knew that the tweeter was metallic when you were listening. Most metallic tweeters I have heard DO sound bright and etched. I doubt that you could identify the KEF's tweeter as being metallic in a blind test. BTW, you do not explain in what way the tweeter sounded metallic.

There are a handful of ss amps that sound natural. Think simple type A ones. Most of these are extremely expensive. The KEFs will sound dramatically more real via a great number of tube amps than through the vast majority of ss amps.

A great many speakers are better suited to jazz and classical than to pop, trance, or house. RGA has accurately posted extensively on this.
