What to upgrade from a Kef ls50 meta?


 

My amp, an Anthem STR, has informed me that it would like to have a new friend to play with. Any suggestions would greatly help me out in this situation. I am looking 👀 at a pair of Monitor Audio Gold 100 6G. Because of space constraints, bookshelf speakers only. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I went from the LS50 Meta + KEF KC62 sub (a superb combo) to the Magnepan LRS+. The Maggies were a more fun to listen to with the wall of sound effect. The clarity and detail of the LRS+ is slightly below the level of the LS50 Meta.

I then had to trade my small office to another smaller space. The LS50 and LRS+ were in the bigger office. The smaller office now has the Magnepan Mini speakers. This speaker has the same level of clarity as the LS50 Meta. It also has that same wall of sound effect. However, my office space is small enough for this speaker setup to shine. The Maggies also do not have as much side wall reflections as the LS50, so it is easier to place.

The Maggies need a strong amp, and I use the $2000 Schitt Wotan amp. A gem of an amp for the price (sounds like it cost 4x more). I also still use the KEF KC62 sub
