KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way

@mapman 
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.

@KENJIT never disappoints. :) LOL
The engineers at KEF have a lot more work to do before they can impress a master audiophile such as myself.



Yes, thanks for pointing it out.

Can’t let a gem like that slip by.

Definitely worth taking a screenshot of.

Beautiful work kenjit, you dare to say out loud what many others would dare not.

Hey mapman,

I’m thinking about getting a pair of LS50 Meta’s and read most of this thread.  I have some questions for you.
Are you still happy with them?What equipment have you tried and what are you currently using?
How long was break in?
I’ve heard they’re a bit bright and I might want to put tubes somewhere into my setup.  What do you think?
 How far from the wall is the sweet spot?

I’m sure I’ll think of more later. 😀

Thanks in advance.
