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.

Just curious what kind of amplifier/source you were doing most of your listening with?

If that question was for me, I used an Exposure 3010 s2d - 110wpc.  
I use a Pass lab int 60,which is only 60wpc and i do not experience, what you did with the meta’s. 
I owned the original LS50’s and now own the new Metas. I am really enjoying the new models, for me KEF has addressed the short-comings that bothered me with the originals.  The Metas have lost the occasional “brightness “ in the treble without loosing any detail. The bass also seems fuller. This is a bookshelf speaker though, so you can’t expect room rumbling bass below 50 HZ. I have paired the Metas with stereo Rhythmik F12’s to great affect. Seamless integration after much tuning and patience. I also have acoustically treated my room with absorbent panels as well as diffusers. Such is the nature of this hobby/obsession.   These new models are not a panacea. The Metas are the next step in the evolution of a classic speaker. With a well planned front end feeding them, ( they demand and reward quality well damped amplification) they can satisfy. They totally disappear and the soundstage really is 3D.They are not
The Metas are not a plug-and Play solution. If you are willing to take the time to find that system “synergy “ they are magical. If you don’t have the patience, go for the wireless mode, KEF has done it for you! The passive units are just not limited to a corporate budget....
