| KEF LS50 Meta I will try that. I’ve tried my originals both close to wall and a good ways out, not quite near field. They work pretty well either way but soundstage and imaging is better further out as it typically is with most modern speakers.I do use a sub so... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I found the old ls50s best suited for smaller rooms. They are small after all so ability to go very loud and dynamic especially in larger rooms is a widely acknowledged limitation though they do fine in the 12x12 room I use them in. Within their c... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way The white paper says the new technology absorbs down to 620hz which is very impressive. I think that is what I heard in S. Guttenburg’s review so apparently he was correct. Would seem to be effective beyond just the range of the tweeter then.Good ... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta Having heard both now in totally different setups I can say I do think the claims of the new meta’s sounding clearly different from old are likely true but still hard to say. Neither is a slouch by any means. I started a separate thread that I wil... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way The bass did actually seem more extended with the metas and this was in a very large room several feet away from rear wall. . Kef says -6db into the 20s. We will see about that. No harshness in that demo. Demo amp was one of the new “high end” Yam... | |

| KEF LS50 Meta I do think Guttenberg May have gotten the frequency range absorbed wrong in his video. Still a lot of what goes into detail happens at higher frequencies (overtones) and the new technology is said to offer 90%+ absorption compared to only 60% befo... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I got a demo today and ordered a pair. Will shootout with my current ls50s when I get them. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta A local dealer has them on display. Going to try and get there today or tomorrow to have a listen. Offering trade in for old ls50s but of course only about 50% of current value so much better off selling the old ones direct as usual. | |
| Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not Good stuff. Thanks @cd318 | |
| How much overhang is ok between a speaker base and the stand top plate? +1 OZZY62. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta Could be. I wonder why that is?Some tests and measurements are surely to come out sometime soon that either backs up the claims regarding sound absorption or not.If so, I would hope people who care about the best sound quality possible at least wo... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta Backwave with a Walsh style driver is a different beast I would think with the driver exposed and mounted on top of the cabinet facing downwards and the sound heard emitted to a large extent horizontally off the rear of the driver. Seems to me it... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta Correction: tuflex block is used to absorb the front wave sound in wall facing directions with Ohm Walsh CLS driver, not the back wave. Totally different. With Ohm Walsh the backwave is different in nature and I believe fires down the length of ... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta From what I read about how KEF has always gone about applying technology very meticulously and fairly openly with the ls50s ( a big reason why I bought them ie what went into the impressive design was published and made very transparent to any int... |
