KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way


Got a demo today and ordered a pair. Should arrive next week.  Will shootout with my current ls50s when they arrive.  Stay tuned.

I found the old ls50s best suited for smaller rooms. They are small after all so ability to go very loud and dynamic especially in larger rooms is a widely acknowledged limitation though they do fine in the 12x12 room I use them in. Within their constraints and in that room though I particularly love what they do.
The problem with the KEFs is that they dont sound good to me. Ive heard the ls50, ref1 and blade. The blade was the only one that was tolerable.The engineers at KEF have a lot more work to do before they can impress a master audiophile such as myself.
Kenjit you should write and tell them to get with it maybe. Or who knows Just audition the new ls50. Maybe it can float your boat finally  with all that latest whiz bang technology. Let us know your impressions if you do.
Congrats to you Mapman I’ve heard nothing but good things about those speakers. I understand they change the drivers and they did some work to the crossovers not To mention the absorption material that cuts down the backwaves Resulting in a much cleaner sound make sure to get back to us in a couple of months and let us Know how they are working out. All the best
