KEF LS50 - Question
Very strange.  You'd think there was maybe  something special about them.

I was notified today metas I ordered in Titanium Grey are backordered via KEF at present so I may have to wait a bit longer than thought. That’s ok, no rush. Looks like all the colors save black are on backorder currently.@cd318 I am hopeful techn...

@mrdecibel only the couch and wood blinds over the window back there but lots of things on the walls in general as you can see. The sound is very good top to bottom with large soundstage with some depth  and excellent detail and imaging to my ears.

@hleeid Those are still the originals. Have not received the metas yet. Should be here later this week or so. Actually My wife moved the speakers slightly the other night while cleaning and I had to reposition. It happens. I use just slight toe in...

I am wondering how long it will take for this new sound absorption technology to show up in headphones?  That could be interesting also.

Kenjit if you read the white paper, which is very well written, you will see the attenuation is down to 620hz not just the range of the tweeter and there are measurement charts that show it. Also that there is a lot of science and expertise that w... 
Just spoke to an old client of mine..........Avantgarde owner
I think separate bass bins or subwoofers is a good thing to enable an optimal and coherent setup with larger horns.   
I need some help understanding preamps.
At a glance one difference is the more expensive unit appears to have a lot more inputs which you may or may not need.  Overall functionality And flexibility can vary greatly among preamps so consider what features you need or really care about in...

@arafiq i have auditioned Harbeth 40.2, but never the P3ESR. Based on my first audition today, I think the new KEFs share some attributes of those Harbeth, which I liked very much, but on a smaller scale of course. The setup was more modest though...

At the audition today,  first listen was from about 6-7 feet in front of the speakers which were on stands a few feet out from the rear wall.   That was a very good first impression but what struck me special was when I backed up further the sound...
