    They're all good sounding speakers depending on every personal listening choice. I have the studio 590 paired to Emotiva XPA using Anthem preamp and I'm so happy with it! I have used and played that same music (Coming Home) with my system seems it's more lively and detailed with no suppression, what I really thought with this demo is the acoustic of the room has played big part of sounds realism. But overall it a nice demo! Thanks Tharbamar....

That the Kefs, which would appear to be easily overmatched(at least in the bells and whistles dept.), compete somewhat evenly, and shine in their own ways, is totally amazing to me!

    As The Listener graduates from the smaller to the larger sizes, I find that as the units get bigger they handle the more complicated and muddy parts better. Definitely the JBL'S are best of all followed by The Wharfedals. I think the room size and the lack of dampening has something to do with the perception of the sound that's we are getting from the different sized cabinets. To me, the LS50'S would be much more suited for an office or a desk situation where the room is not large. I think that the sound would be more profound in a slightly smaller space. All are good especially at the price points!

    The JBLs were a little more open in the top end and articulation but I hear a little more hiss so maybe they bumped top end a little more. The Lintons gave them a run for the money. I think for double the price I can turn the treble up a little on the Lintons and match the JBL's. Here's hoping. The Compression Horn Drivers are hard to beat. Thanks for the great comparison. Your subject and the speed with which you set up the comparisons is to be applauded. Bravo.

    Hey Tharbamar. I am seriously looking at: JBL Studio 590 or 580, or Wharfedale Linton or Klipsch RP8000. Because I had some customer service problems with JBL few years ago, they are offering me 20% off any purchase. Right now the Studio 580's are on sale for 300/each but if I wait for the 590's to go on sale for 450/each which does happen now and than, I can use that 20% discount. My room is carpeted, furnished, paneling, and drop ceiling, and is in basement...my man cave..LOL. What you think: Still try the Studio 590's? or 580's? or something else? I don't like the KEF's or any KEF's because they hurt my ears. Go figure. I got a vintage Mitsubishi dual mono block amp that is just plan sweet. Appreciate your input. Peace.

    The Kef have amazing sound regarding their size, but lack a bit of range and warmer/analogical sound. Never really liked Kef's metalic tweeters and their bright highs. Don't know what to think about the JBL, just they are too big, while the spatialisation is not as open and engaging to me... I whish the Linton was a bit more accurate and clean in the way it separates the frequencies; for sure it is warm, sounds more engaging and analogical, has a nice range, but i found them too messy regarding low medium and bass (could be better controled). Too bad, I thought it would be a perfect match with my tube amp :(
    Thank you very mutch for your reviews, very interesting!!

    Can some one help me? Say I was to listen to a Brahms symphony through the wharfedale lintons would it sound incredible? I do not know anything about audiophiles or whatever I just want a truly top tier listening experience for my classical music and on occasion 70s prog rock. And I hear the lintons are good for long sessions.

    @m.9243 5 лет назад +4

    Ι would keep the KEFs but, with the addition of a subwoofer.
    Their clarity is quite more obvious from the other two, with the Lintons come close second.
    Also, placement - in my view - makes a difference. The closer you bring speakers together the more focused they sound but you loose the wide soundstage.
    Any case, great shoot out! Thanks!

    My first crearlly the JBL, and the LS50 always surprise me... please consider the size.
    I wonder how the Kef would sound in a more separate position and probably with ba good subwoofer could be the best choice.
    The Linton is a good speaker and a balanced solution, I miss some clearty in the highs, but it sounds great.

    Tharbamar I have one suggestion, first of all thanks for your time, love the chance to demo speakers, I think you’re recording the speakers with the mic a bit too far from the speakers, i feel like the mics are picking up the room too much, the reflections, echoing, etc. I would encourage you to try it. thanks again

      The main problem is the spacing - you should set them up as ABC, ABC, not ABC, CBA. Now the speaker width is variable as is the distance to the walls, which is giving the JBLs a more spacious sound due to side wall reflections.

    • @dednside5229

      @@matsudakodo wrong. The JBL like about 6-8 feet and a face squared arrangement. It's the manual , it's in my bedroom 2 pair. Tubes do play with the effective spacing as do buffers. They are at a disadvantage in the video. Not an advantage.

    I liked the Wharfedale's the best. I really liked the "knock" of the bass, especially on the kick drum. It was very tight and defined. The vocals were very forward and present in a way I enjoyed.
    Surprisingly the JBLs may have been my least favorite. They were actually TOO bassy for my tastes. Or maybe it was that the bass was a little flabby? I also felt that the JBL's frequencies sounded too "separate." At times it felt like the higher pitched instrument were coming from a different speaker.
    I'd have to hear them live to really know, of course. My headphones are adding their own character.

    • @chrishernandez2490
      @chrishernandez2490 9 месяцев назад

      I can guarantee that any boominess of the bass your hearing is just due to the fact that you're listening to a recording in a room. I've done a similar recording of my amateur built speakers and the recording made it seem like they had WAY more bass than they actually did.
      As a big JBL fan, I also agree that the wharfedales sounded sweet! I preferred them to the JBLs as well

    The kef I think would be best in a near field situation and only that it's funny you can actually hear it's smaller footprint through a micrphone, through youtube compression then played back on different speakers. The warfdale sounds traditional 3-way in nature of modern day speakers and does nothing I'd think anyone would deem to be offensive all thanks to that soft dome. and lastly the JBL's with it's compression horn I think the microphone was kind of messing it up but you can hear a sense of depth through them, I think they sound the most realistic with some distance between you and them. None of them sound in any way particularly bad to me. I'd say it really depends on the situation and how you are planning on setting them up. I wouldn't buy those kefs for a living room that's for certain and the warfdale is more traditional sounding but it lacks that depth that the JBLs seem to have, you get a real sense of the room it was recorded in on the JBL which honestly if I had to pick its' what I would want personally. I wouldn't be upset with the warfdales though.
