Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the excellent sound quality and beautiful appearance of the LS50META Bookshelf Speakers. Some users noted that the bass response is limited, while others found the size to be unobtrusive. The build quality also received significant praise. However, a subwoofer might be considered for those who prefer a warmer, more bass-heavy sound.

    Accurate to a fault. Bass is weak (to be expected). Just didn’t find them to my liking. They were meant to replace my B&W towers but they didn’t measure up. I found them fatiguing and not rich enough in the midrange. As studio monitors they would be great. They would also be good for people who like very detailed speakers. They were just not for me.

    I really enjoy these speakers and think they sound great but I just bought a pair of B&W 705S2 and I think those sound better and have that little bit of extra that I was looking for in my audio gear. These speakers sound great and have good detail but they lack something in the hi-end frequency. I plan to use these in a surround sound setup.

    One of the best compact speakers out there. Can you get better sound? Yes. Can you get better sound for the price and size? Doubtful. I use them for near field listening in my office and match them with a sub. I’m extremely happy with them for that use.

    Upgraded from OG LS50’s. Similar sound, but with improved clarity in the treble and midtange. Just fantastic with the right amp.

    These speakers paired with their brother the KEF KC62 sub have made a wonderful addition to my office. Aesthetically as well sonically. The music sounds clear and precise and I’ve found myself rediscovering old favorites as I’ve spent time with this setup.

    Excellent stand mount speaker especially considering the price. Can't really say it's as good as all the praise the press is heaping on it but it does sound very good.

    Lives up to it's hype. A warm but transparent little speaker with a big but detailed sound. If you like deep bass, mate these with a good subwoofer.
