KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way

When they arrive and you set them up, just remember that the pesky backwaves are still there just as they were in the original LS50 and that it wont be long before you hear those nasty backwaves!

You will be looking for another upgrade in a year. I guarantee you mapman. These nasty LS50 never had much bass anyway. And that nasty cone material they use can sound a bit harsh!

The bass did actually seem more extended with the metas and this was in a very large room several feet away from rear wall. . Kef says -6db into the 20s. We will see about that. 

No harshness in that demo. Demo amp was one of the new “high end” Yamaha integrated amps.

The demo got really interesting when I turned my back to the speakers.......just music no speakers seemingly.

Technology is always improving and I am always on the lookout for innovations that can make a difference. So who knows what might be in a few years. We will see. Meanwhile the chase for perfection continues in a still imperfect world. I’m pretty sure most will only be able to afford it in smaller packages. Oh well.

Maybe you've seen this but here's KEF white paper on both the meta and wireless.
