2. speakers
  3. 132862-3739

The latest and greatest

Sometimes I see a new product (in this case speakers) that get lots of press and discussion only to see lots of them for sale a little later. 
Right now there are many pairs of Kef LS50s coming up for sale (both the regular and W versions).
Are these just a flash in the pan or just showing up on the market because so many have been sold?
In my mind there is nothing like a product that has stood the test of time. 
Am I just being a sceptic?

BTW - I believe the driver on the KEF is the 12 itheration of a design that strecthes back over a decade.

dunno, I just hear there is a newer version coming out...

who knows if it is true?

if I was not worried about bass & didn't care about the looks, I'd snap them up at the price

for more $$ (10x more) you can get a pair of Kii 3's...

Isn’t the LS50 an update on a classic British Broadcasting (LS5?) monitor design? (Might be wrong about that, though) I read KEF was responsible for mftg. the LS5 for some period back in the day.  If the LS5/LS50 "connection" is true, one might argue the LS50 represents a design (if not the exact product) that has indeed stood the test of time.
