KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way

Regarding new technology in headphones...

"In fact I can imagine a few departmental heads soon asking awkward questions of their R&D departments as to why KEF got there first."

I do not think that KEF is already using this absorbtion in their headphones. I may be wrong, of course.

Just received my new Kef LS50 Meta’s and I must say, I am very impressed! I had the original ls50’s and these are much more articulate as if the kef have moved up to the next level for the same price. They sound beefier, cleaner and wider soundstage. I have only been listening for 1 hour. Don’t know how a piece a plastic on the back of the driver could make so much difference. I am driven the kef’s with a Pass Lab int60. LIke others have mentioned the treble is cleaner but there is no brightness whatsoever. Sam Mclain’s voice sound more organic then before and It was good with the old kefs. Even though the bass seems to be beefier, the meta’s still sound better with a quality fast sub. I use a B&W db3 which is an excellent sub. I’m sorry I am not as good as some of you at describing sound. I hope this helps someone wondering how these speaker sound. Don’t think this is a night and day difference, but you will hear it as compared to the old 50’s. 

The older ls-50's did get a Class A Rating...

Just wanted to chime in. I installed the new Metas this evening, and am very impressed. Very happy with the purchase, and they only have a couple hours on them so far. The transparency is startling.
