LS50 II Wireless

Beolab 8 compete with KEF LS50 Wireless II, not with LSX II. Between BL8 and LSX II at technical level, there's no comparison whatsoever, the BL8 are way better - that is, aside from personal preferences in sound signature. Between LS50 Wireless II and Beolab 8, the choice becomes more difficult...

I have 2 pairs of KEF LS50W IIs. After going through maybe 10+ speakers in my life. These are the last ones. For the size, convenience and price, I've heard nothing better.
