![]() They are just now breaking in and I am really loving them! Recently reading the white papers on the speaker I am once again impressed with the technology KEF puts into their speakers. I power them with an MBL amplifier and they seem to like the quality power. They fit very nicely in my room and work incredible with my other gear. I also matched them with the S2 stands and they are simply a gorgeous design. I have been missing KEF after getting a pair of Magnepan speakers to replace my KEF R700's. I was afraid that I would not get the same enjoyable listening experience with a small speaker.Īfter reading and watching several reviews and doing my own research I decided to give the LS50 Meta's a try. My original KEF's were the fantastic Reference 104aB's! Recently I have had floor standing speakers (R700's, Magnepan's) but I have wanted to get a smaller speaker that are easier to live with. I have been a fan of KEF speakers for about 40 years now. ![]() In the meantime, I will enjoy these small wonders of LS50 Meta, but eagerly looking forward to hear, one day, the voice of God from the higher end KEF speakers. I would wait for such speakers, willing to pay for them even half way between LS 50 Meta for 1.6K and the Speakers of God for 9K. I hope one day KEF will do something “in between”: a larger version of “LS50 Meta”, with more high end midrange, and more bass. Interestingly, on KEF website, a reviewer noticed on Reference I Meta speakers: “IF GOD SPOKE - THESE ARE THE SPEAKERS HE WOULD USE TO BROADCAST HIS VOICE.” I believe I get his point. Regrettably, KEF has ‘meta’ technology in these LS50 speakers and then only in their Reference range that starts with the smallest, a standmount model “REFERENCE 1 Meta” for 9K… out of range for most of us. If KEF LS 50 Meta were able to get such similar, musically amazing, midrange, along with their already amazing upper range, they would be my perfect speakers. Driven by my Musical Fidelity A300 amplifier, they delivered a very nice, warm, simply splendid midrange. In 2002, I bought Monitor Audio best speakers at that time, Gold Reference 60 and Gold Reference 20. The bass can be easily enhanced by a subwoofer, like KEF KC62 or even the larger KF92. ![]() These “Metas” have also very good (but not exceptional) MIDRANGE and pretty good BASS for such small size speakers. In the past, two decades ago when I started buying audiophile equipment, this upper range would be unthinkable in the speakers of this price range. The treble is not bright or fatiguing or analytical, but splendidly musical and engaging. These “METAS” have gorgeous UPPER RANGE with a lot of detail and tremendous transparency. ![]()
