LS50 VS L600

I have the LS-50's since the 90's would it be time for an upgrade, would the L600's be a good choice and a big difference in the sound. Running an Onkyo 135 watt per channel amp. Listen at mild levels.

Thanks

    The L600's will run circles around those LS-50's and leave them in the dust.
  • Thanks for the response, L600 it is.
  • Thanks for your input. Just pulled the trigger: a pair of the L600's, the L400 center channel, and the DSW Pro Sub, hope my 135 watt per channel Onkyo can handle it.

    Give them a lot of break-in time. And remember, the better the power the better they will sound. Not saying your Onkyo won’t cut it just saying they get better and better as the power gets better. As well as everything else in the chain
  • Thanks for the reply, will give a review once they are installed

  • Thanks, I wanted the L800's but I prewired the house while it was being built and could not do the cable that connects the two speakers. Very smooth purchasing experience but the over $400 in tax was a little difficult to take.
