KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way

I got my Metas a couple of days ago and will post more lengthy impressions after I have some time on them.  At first, they sounded a little closed in and the lower midrange/upper bass was somewhat muffled (not uncommon with new speakers before break in).  Last night they started to sound more open, with a nice depth to the soundstage (but not much width).  The top end is very clear without any harshness, even on first listen.  I had the original LS50s a couple of years ago, and just going by memory the Meta is a definite improvement.  

More later...

If that question was for me, I used an Exposure 3010 s2d - 110wpc.  

As an update, I ended up returning my LS50 Metas at the end of the 30-day trial period.  It turned out that they really needed to be played a bit louder than I usually listen, which is fairly moderate volume levels (max SPL 78 db or so).  They sounded a bit dark and lacking bass at that volume. When I turned them up to max SPLs in the mid 80s and beyond, they sounded much fuller and more engaging.  My room is approx. 12x15 ft., and I sit about 7 ft from the speakers.  They are great speakers, but they just didn't quite work for my particular case.
