KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way


Got a demo today and ordered a pair. Should arrive next week.  Will shootout with my current ls50s when they arrive.  Stay tuned.

Hopefully KEF will get some new stock in soon....these things have been selling quite well (both the passive and active versions).

As an fyi, if anyone else is looking for Titanium Grey, I do have one pair in stock at this time!  
Having seen both colors, the titanium grey looks really nice in person (and I generally prefer black or wood tones when it comes to speakers).
@mapman   I believe they can in around the end of October.  I had several pairs on order in both black and titanium....black shipped first, then this pair came in.
Glad you are enjoying them so far!  The Metas really are fun speakers, and quite amazing what they can do considering the modest size.

Just wanted to add a couple a quick things for your questions....  The Metas are not super troublesome with room setup.  If you need to run them somewhat close to a wall, they will work (especially when utilizing port plugs if super close).  Of course a little breathing room is generally a good thing with "most speakers", so if you can bring them out a bit into the room, certainly try it.
I don't really consider the Metas to be "bright" in sound.  You can add tubes somewhere in the chain if you desire (one of my favorite combos here is a Rogue Cronus Mag with my Meta demos), but it's not necessary if you don't want to play around with tubes.  There are plenty of great sounding solid state options that work well with the Metas.

As Mapman noted, due to their size, they do have some limitations to overall volume and large room size.  But they really are fun speakers, and play well above their price point (IMHO).

Hope this helps!
