I prefer A80, much clear sound.

Wasn't expecting the A80 to sound this good for the price.

Hi ! I think that Airpulse A80 win on all points if we can boost a little the frequencies between 140hz to 270hz (see the curve on video), then his sound will be more balanced and natural.

AirPulse A80 more open and wider for me = better

I'm a little lost, how is possible that edifier did better than Kef? In all website, magazine etc we see kef kef kef and nothing about edifier, almost never, it's crazy.

There is problem with mic placement method - we hear full trebles of A80 but not from KEF. Vertical axis is most important factor, because usually anything off more than 20° angle makes it trash. Ribbon tweeter on A80 is placed higher, also tweeter itself is higher. Kef have trebles inside mid/woofer on center, while mic placement is not adjusted. KEF LSX is far superior, just not recorded properly.

Well this was eye opening. Thanks for making this comparison.

If you like the bright high frequency then A80 all the way, but some ppl might feel it is too bright. Might have to lower the treble by one db.Couldn’t tell much difference in mid and low. By the way, a80 is a much more reliable active speaker and cost less than half of lsx

KEF. Nice bass for 115 mm woofer.

The "Deep" track does sound deeper on the Edifier A80.

Finally LSX met a tough rival

A80 sounds better, more open sound. The voice is better on A80 also. KEF have more dark signature, may be they will be less fatigue for long listen. But, is there a difference in resolution? It's impossible to understand from youtube. Does KEF's worth twice the price of A80?

Wow...A80 Great!

Merci pour cette vidéo.

Сделайте пожалуйста видео с А100 и А80.🤗

The KEFs does sound a tinny bit more wide than the A80s, but response is flatter on the Airpulse. Both seems to hold pretty well on nearfield, but I would suspect the KEFs might do better in soundstage consistency, due to their coax design. The bass should probably be equal if not just sounding a bit fuller on the KEF.

Tough one, bt overall I´ll go with Airpulse.

The A80 would've benefit greatly from a bigger driver and a slightly less recessed ribbon tweeter, because it is super precise and as a result the kef's are wider and presents a fuller bass response. The Airpulse was designed by Phil Jones, so the expectation on them to be perfect is high and with that hefty price tag they certainly do have flaws compared to rivals. Overall I'll take the LSX but on a budget the Airpulse is a great option, picked a set up yesterday for just under $300 and at that price its an amazing set.

Very interesting. How closely do you match the sound levels?

Loa kef lsx nghe cũng ổn nhưng đã nổ điện khi sang năm thứ hai, tìm hiểu thì được biết nhiều người cũng bị tương tự

The KEF's sound very boxy with a hiss. Glad I don't have to save up for that money :) Tweeter on A80 is so much better.

AirPulse A80

I bought me a pair of a80 they are great! Better looking than i though bigger than i though and so great sound no issues at all with the basses it kudt great bang for buck just get it in the worst case if you r a bass head just add a sub!

Please try hivi swans d300 and compare it to kef lsx 🙏

Great Video and comparison, thanks so much

KEF sounds more open in the mids and deeper in the lows in my opinion. Listening in the ATH-M20x with T20 tube amp.

Big thanks for comparisons! Krk g4 8" vs krk v8s4 someday plz!

I would gladly take the LSX for the same price of the A80 for the sound stage, the defined bass and comfortable treble. But A80 is significantly lower priced, which is a real bargain for a speaker with dark bass and accurate treble.

Kef LS50 vs Bowers & Wilkins 805 D3 Please.......!!!

Kef ❤️

Hi! I would like a test between Microlab 11 and 26! Thank you

so far listing with my dt 1990 i would say the AirPulse A80 is the best in performance to price ratio so far

A80 sounds metallic to my ears. And the LSX boxy. I would say that I do not like neither of them.

A80 wins, 03:34​ - 04:40​ Metal Head you can feel something missing in the LSX

airpulse seem to have more depth

The Kef lx sounds pretty bad to me. I am suprised all the website like whathifi rate it very high. It sound worse than Yamaha hs8 and tannoy gold 8

AirPulse A80♥♥♥

KEF wins for me. The Airpulse sounds compressed/struggling in the lows when the kicks come in. KEF sounds like it is more dynamic. KEF also has better low mids

KEF speaker systems are very sad.. and have a higher price tag

Is a80 same as a100?

Both of them sound bad to me, but the LSX which I use to consider to have one, sound pity much very “speaker sound”, especially in the mid range.

Edifier s2000mklll vs a80, кто вытянет ? Ленточник заметно лучше планарного твиттера вытягивает верха ?

Lsx has better bass than s2000mk3? Thanks

same

Kef выдают искусственный и неестественный звук в сравнении с Airpulse. Kef выделяются только басом, но и он не соответствует оригиналу. Победитель очевиден

how thick are your bass traps?

Хм, у A80 более широкий диапазон и более ровный чем у кеф

lxs has fewer units with a smaller size. no surprize

Both are begging for a sub, and I dont mean the awful T5

Kef have the fuller sound for sure, much better bass.

On whathifi, a80 look crappy...

звук ужасный,наверно из-за комнаты

Neither.

kef sound dark

Airpulse wins on horizontal dispersion whereas KSX wins on sound coherency.

Лёха в окопе

KEF wins

👍
