KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way

Yes the metas are voiced much like the R3s which are awesome. Also more like my mainstay Ohms.

The white paper is pretty impressive. It really shows the difference between companies that are truly moving forward the state of the art, and those that claim they are. 

I am always interested in new products or technology that push the edge.  But only if there is some technical meat presented to back up claims. 
Similarly, I have learned over the years to steer clear of products that make bold claims of technical innovation with nothing concrete to back it up other than marketing  hype. 

The kef meta are the same as the old kef ls50. The stereophile review shows they are tuned identically to the old version. The meta has a dip in the presence range. Cheaper to buy an EQ and you could get the same result. The metas have one problem as do all other box speakers. They suffer from dreadful NOISE that comes from the backwaves reflecting around inside that box! Unfortunately John Atkinson has not mentioned this as it would cause a drop in sales. In ten years, audiophiles will look back at this thread and be laughing at all the fuss created over the dreadful ls50 metas! By then, the next state of the art speaker will have arrived on the marketplace! I cant wait to see what KEF comes up with next. META 2 Anniversary edition!!?

kenjit you are just here for comic relief right?  Can you please provide a link in the Stereophile review where they measure the difference in distortion between the old and new versions?  The new Meta has a significantly smoother response. For all your chest pumping, perhaps it is too obvious you don't even know how to read a response graph. 

Your posts are just weird. It is virtually a given you have not heard the Meta and I suspect not the original either. Not the be all and end all of speakers, but very good for the price.
