I had the opportunity to compare the KEF 104/2 and the ADS L1590
loudspeakers.  The KEF speakers were the hands down winner in
my opinion.  In fact, they were the best speakers I've ever
heard.  I also compared these speakers against the Klipsch
Cornwalls.  Both the KEF and ADS sounded better than the Klipsch.
As soon as I can afford them, I will buy the KEF 104/2s (the best
price I got in a retail store was $1495/pair).  If I remember
correctly, the ADS L1590s were ~ $2100/pair.  Another thing the
KEF speakers have going for them is that they are nice to look
at.  I personnaly do not like the metal grating on the ADS speakers.
