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.

Thanks for reporting progress as you go.  It's been fun reading about your Metas. I hope to demo a pair down the road just for grins.  It can be revealing moving the same speakers around to different setups with friends, in normal non-covid times. With some time on them now, and getting use to the sound, by chance are you done with gear changes at this juncture -or- possibly wondering about any upstream changes you could benefit from? Interested in following your updates. Thx.

Great recordings sound great yet each a little difference. The worst recordings are as listenable as they have ever been. 

Hello mapman, I'd like to pass along this thread and your feedback to a friend. Now that you've had the new LS50 Meta speakers for a while, what do you think?  And, compared to your prior LS50s and Ohm Walsh?

One thing worth adding is my big Ohms with the 12” main driver clearly have the edge still to be able to go to higher spls loud and clear especially in a larger room with no noticeable dynamic compression.
Ls50s are still small but metas are top notch for their size. I have not felt the urge to go louder than mid to upper 80s SPL with the metas in the smaller room.
Both run off Same very efficient Bel Canto ref 1000m Class D monoblocks, 500w/ch 8 ohm, so plenty of juice to go to very high SPLs with either.
