KEF's meta material gimmick?
There are lots of reviewers who had the original LS50s and then tried the LS50 Meta who found big or small differences so you could check them out.   I bought the LS50 Metas recently used and once I found a set up that really made them sing, I a... 
Buying refurbished gear....

The band 'Sparks' on Netflix
Back in the day, I was mesmerized by their album covers but I never bought any. I saw the Documentary in the Theatre and really enjoyed it. They are characters. They never had the cliche drug or alcohol period but they did have trouble getting the...
