LS50 Meta

It is a very personal question. Unfortunately that kind of question gets the male karen out of the woodwork who absolutely have to let us know that their $2000 system sounds like 100,000 and the folks that spent the extra 98,000 are just a bunch of fools. To me, if you get something like a pair of K

listening on kef ls50 metas with a kc62 sub and thus far the bass sounds incredible but ive yet to reach one of the bomb moments i'm only on walls of the cave n1, all i know is this system can reproduce the bombs so i will be able to report back if it's a mix thing or a system/reproduction shortcomi

Completely agree. I auditioned the Lintons against the KEF LS50 Metas & KLH Model 5s at Just Audio in Baltimore (shout out — they’re great!). The Lintons won and it wasn’t even close for me. I would get goosebumps every time they switched back to the Lintons. I loved the KEFs too, but they felt a li

KEF makes very good speakers with a unique listening experience from their coaxial concentric drivers. Most find them neutral to slightly warm in presentation. KEF speakers image extremely well and are quite holographic. They've been developing concentric drivers for a long time and are on their 11t

I don’t accept your premise. There’s no reason B&W, Philharmonic or other audiophile brands should not be suited for Hip Hop or R&B. The implication there is that these genres are not produced to audiophile standards and I think that sells those producers short. It sounds like you have a preference

I had kali in5s and 8s in my room and they're incredible, I've got ls50 metas now and they're better than the kalis used with a sub. Very engaging and immersive experience. Haven't heard ops model but kef are no joke and that coaxial design near field is awesome.

I mean it is a smart speaker, but so what? There are plenty of “dumb speakers” that cost way more than $350. The KEF LS50 Meta are $3k for the pair and they’re also powered, wireless AirPlay speakers that don’t have any voice assistant built in

For what it’s worth, I level matched and A/B tested LS50 metas and Lintons in my room. The Kefs had more precise imaging and slightly crisper highs. The Lintons had a significantly better low end, as you would imagine, a warmer midrange and a wider soundstage. My favorite thing about the Lintons tho

I don’t think that’s entirely fair … these are, theoretically an improvement on the LS50 series with more bass extension and less distortion. It’s a complete wireless system and might be all someone needs. The LS50 metas are very well regarded and I can vouch for how amazing they sound with a subwoo

I sold my kali INs and regretted it until I got my kef ls50 metas. Went through a few sets of hifi speakers till I settled on the kefs
