KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way

I have the LS50 and have the LS50 meta for about two weeks.  On the same system and room the meta version is a big step up.  It has better clarity and improved soundstage.  Both need power and subwoofers.  I have a Parasound Halo A21 and two Rel t/7i.

Man, sorry to hear that its taking so long for you to get yours Mapman.  I remember when I bought my wireless Ls50’s I wanted the titanium ones.  After waiting 5 weeks I just took the black ones because I got sick of waiting.  Hopefully yours come soon

The KEF  LS 50 must be the best selling loudspeaker of recent times.

The worldwide demand must be huge for a speaker that's liable to go down in audio history.

I can't remember the last one that made such a splash. 

Someone at KEF surely deserves a promotion.

I heard them Meta today when I was visiting Russ Katz and I was amazed at how much better they sound than the LS50.

Hi @lancelock


I would probably not have stuck with Ls 50s in my smaller room downstairs without a sub. 
They do what they do very well and bear some resemblance sound wise to much pricier small monitors I have heard like Joseph and TAD but are no doubt somewhat limited compared to those.

With a sub, in a small room as well, The gap closes.

I’m anticipating the metas will up the ante further.

Enough that I would go exclusively with them in favor of other larger beasts like my OHMs?

We will see. On my small 12x12 room, I do find the Ls50s do a good job holding together when not quite in the sweet spot, so that helps.

@b_limo,

I plan to hold out for the Titanium Grey. I have lots of good listening options in house to keep me going until then. Will call again tomorrow to see if any new info on the availability since October is now clearly in the books.
