KEF LS50 Meta

Hopefully Kef starts up an upgrade program.

I have the KEF LS50's, and I am very pleased with them.  I am considering upgrading to the Meta.  What should I do with my old LS50?  Can I use them as surround speakers?  They seem to need a lot of power.  Where would I sell  them?  

A local dealer has them on display. Going to try and get there today or tomorrow to have a listen. Offering trade in for old ls50s but of course only about 50% of current value so much better off selling the old ones direct as usual.

My local dealer has offered to let me demo them at home for a couple days when they get them next week. If it happens I'll post thoughts here.

Our new monitors are in a class by themselvelves nonene has ever produced a cabinet like this think 30k to 50k sound for 3500 when uzed with a good subbwoofer

You will be hearing ing our setups at axponna when the shows start again our sub monitor Package is goiing after Wilson and magico for 15k with bass down to 10 hz and tuneable to match the room size

Our monitors are totally unique in terms of clarity and imaging state of the art the enclosure does not vibrate or resonante at all the material is50 trimes more inert than mdf or aluminium total game changer

I curious about these and what sensitivity they will have. They sound interesting.

However, isn't cabinet resonance different from backwave energy? Sounds like the meta material in the KEF is designed to absorb backwave energy resulting in a more open, detailed sound. I guess cabinet resonance and backwave energy can manifest in similar ways (i.e. smeared detail and loss of texture), but even an anti-resonant cabinet has to deal with backwave pressure and secondary energy leaking back out of the driver. I'm certainly not a designer or engineer, just thinking about this from a layman's perspective. Sounds like KEF may be onto something that is dealing with both by having the meta materia and a rigid cabinet.
