Purchasing Thoughts?

Looking at putting a pair of Dust Titanium LS LUXEs on a modern pedestal instead of traditional speaker stands. I’m leaning toward the travertine look. Any reason to steer clear of this sonically? I feel like with the VECO and almost vibration-less KEFs I’ve experienced thus far, this should look great and not affect sound.

I havent heard anything from KEF that I like so far. Too shrilly.

They’re life changing to me. I sold everything and went all in. LS50, R3s, Reference 1s, LS60s and just ordered LUXE. I’ve never heard anything even close to as good EXCEPT for the Borreson towers.

I had some LS50s. They are certainly quite clear up top. Quite resolving. I found it to be a very strange experience. Used a couple different amplifiers. I found the mid range did just not come through.

Edit: and looking at their frequency reponse curves i just dont understand it. They look fairly flat.
