    Worth every penny!!!

    So my situation was a reconfiguration of our small room, so my tower speakers (tannoy platinum) had to go. After many weeks of research and reading I decded on the LS-50 Meta's. I listened to the next model down in the store and was well impressed (Q1 Meta). Ultimately I chose to spend the extra money on these. Specs can be deceiving, so I listened to both in my room. I am running a Marantz Model 40n to power them. This produces the lower end of what I would power them with. Its about 100watts plus at 4ohms, but the can handle WAY more power and from what I have read will just sound better and better with more quality power. Remember these are actually a 4ohm minus speaker dipping to 3.2 so feed them as well as uou can. One reviewer ran them with 300watts per channel 8ohm and 600watts per channel 4ohm. His words were that these speakers really "woke" up with the extra current. This is one of the reasons I chose them. I have probably 30+ hrs on them but thet will need 200+ hours to be broken in and sound optimal. The one thing I can say, is these spekers deliver what's in the recirding. They are very revealing and can dissapear when properly setup. I am running them with dual 6" sealed aubwoofers. Many times I listen without the subs and have been suprised by the dynamics and bass. If you want small bookshelf's that can grow with any upgrades to your system (and power you give them), look no furter than KEF. LS-50's for the win!!

    Needs break in, good amp and Dac

    Almost bought the q350 until I saw it in the store. The finish looked a bit cheap. So I got the meta instead. Much better finish quality. I actually had the original ls50 a few years back. I was originally a bit disappointed with the sound at first. Image size was a bit small and vocalists seemed a bit recessed. But after switching out a modern integrated amp with a vintage marantz 140 power amp directly feed by a wiim mini and smsl Dac the sound is now big and spacious. Small 8 inch sub adds just enough bass.

The LS50 Meta has inherited its distinctive good looks from the original LS50, with its low-diffraction, curved baffle precision modelled around the Uni-Q driver array. The curved front is subtly mirrored by the gently radiused rear panel, while both the port exit and speaker terminals have been elegantly recessed and softened visually. The LS50 Meta’s extremely rigid cabinet is optimised for the best performance, with smooth curved surfaces that help radiate sound out across the baffle without any interference

  • I recently purchased a pair of Kef ls50 Meta speakers to go along with my pair of SVS 3000 Micro subs. I am running the Kef LS50 Metas full range, and using the subs to fill in the lower bass. What high pass filter,and slope,should I use for the Metas?

    80 or 100 hz as these don't go much lower than 80 hz
