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.

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.
The white paper says the new technology absorbs down to 620hz which is very impressive. I think that is what I heard in S. Guttenburg’s review so apparently he was correct. Would seem to be effective beyond just the range of the tweeter then.

Good stuff. The Detailed information presented in the  white paper on the original ls50s very much helped to convince me to try them.   
 This should really drop the used pricing on the original LS50. It will be interesting to see how low they will go in the next year. 
Looks very good in the listening window but probably will get distortion in the bass when pushing them a bit but it is a bookshelf so that's to be expected. Nice improvement on the old model especially the wireless.
