KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way

I’m listening to various random tracks on the Metas.
The adjective that comes to mind to describe the sound overall is “composed”. Everything sounds quite dynamic yet refined and controlled. No slop. The music just flows. Making me stay on my seat listening and not want to stop. That means these have passed the test with flying colors. I think most anyone who hears these would have to like them and have trouble finding a fault. Just add that sub and you got it all pretty much.
Some flamenco solo guitar currently by Pepe Romero. Lovely detail. You can hear each string resonate clearly and with lifelike ambience. The improved dispersion on these newer Meta’s no doubt helps contribute to that.  No artificial shimmer. 

Now some 70s funk “walk-in the line” by Brass Construction (digitized from original vinyl). Nice and punchy. Everything is sorted out and presented nicely.

Next live Dream Weaver by Ringo’s All Star Band. Live. The room is filled with sound. You can hear some individuals in the audience as part of the cheers after.

Just had to add that “Sex God” from Liquid Soul’s exquisite “One-two Punch” album on Telarc label is pure ecstasy.   Highly recommended!

I got mine yesterday and I'm loving them.

I had the original LS50s paired with a couple of small REL subs and found it quite nice, but decided to splurge and buy myself a pair of Metas for Christmas and made the switch to the Metas yesterday afternoon.

"Composed" is a good word, they just seem to do things right.  Beyond that I'd say words like holographic, musical, and smooth would apply.  It's much more of a "right here in the room" type of experience than the original LS50s.  And this is right out of the box, not sure if they will improve with break in, but I'm completely satisfied as is.

Listened to the remastered Tom Petty Wildflowers that someone suggested further up in the thread and it was great.  Currently marveling at the way Norah Jones voice is filling up the room.

Two thumbs up.

Come back to this thread in ten years time and we will be able to have a discussion about how bad the metas are compared with whatever speakers exist at that time. If you came back in 100 years, just think how horrible the metas would be by then!?

The original Ls50 speakers were PERFECT until the metas came along. History will repeat itself. Just you wait and see.

Ok Kenjit sounds good. See you then! Maybe by then you will decide if you really believe all speakers are the same or not. You appear quite torn on the topic  at present.
