What to upgrade from a Kef ls50 meta?

 

My amp, an Anthem STR, has informed me that it would like to have a new friend to play with. Any suggestions would greatly help me out in this situation. I am looking 👀 at a pair of Monitor Audio Gold 100 6G. Because of space constraints, bookshelf speakers only. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I’d get rid of the anthem and the speakers and move to the Kef ls60. If you had a better amp, the 50’s would sound better. The built in amp/dac in the ls60 would be an upgrade

Can't go wrong with Monitor ...

I would definitely support the Buchardt suggestion ...

@rbstehno confused by your statement. Why do you want me to trade in a $6500 amplifier for a $6000 all-in-one speakers. The LS 50s sound great. I just was trying to be more in line with the cost of amplifier and speaker synergy.

@zlone love the idea of reference ones, I just don’t have the cheddar to make that happen. Definitely a someday save. Like the idea of a ribbon tweeters Is why I am looking at the monitor.

Understood, they are a bit pricey. The non-meta's can be found used in the $4K range, but still a chunk of change.
