KEF LS50 Meta


I am looking at buying a pair… Seem to be reviewed very well… Haven’t had a chance to listen to them yet… Do you consider these audiophile bookshelf speakers? Thanks!

With the equipment I have now, I would be driving them with either a NADC375BEE or a Peachtree Nova 150. 

If KEF ls50 meta speakers are not "audiophile" then nothing is.

I own a pair + a pair of original ls50s. Also several other highly regarded audiophile favorites like Sonus Faber and Ohm. Every speaker is different but in terms of pure overall technical execution and sound, the KEF meta line in general is top of the heap at most any price point.

Does that mean everyone will like or prefer them? Absolutely not. What people like or think sounds best is a completely subjective determination so anything is possible there.

 

I would expect either of those amps to do quite well with ls50 metas.

@mapman I appreciate the input, thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated, and have a great weekend!

As always listen for yourself if you can. Or order from somewhere they can be returned.
 

For me they lack dynamics and bass… if you gave me a pair for free I would not use them. I do however understand why people like them and understand our listening preferences are much different.
