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

I started with Heresy IV’s and a good Yamaha amp. I moved to LS50 Metas and a KC62 on the same amp. Better. I upgraded my amp to an Hegel 390. Also worth it. The LS50M’s used every single watt. Then moved to a Kef reference one meta and was shocked at how much better it sounded. And finally ditched

So basically, you've got the Wiim Amp Ultra setting the bar for price/performance for $530 USD (watch for a sale during Amazon Spring Prime Days later this month), with the next step up being a Wiim Ultra for $330 (watch for the sale), paired with a Buckeye Hypex NCx252MP for $625. The next upgrade

IMHO, KEF's subwoofers tend to be overpriced for what they offer. I'd recommend something from SVS or Rythmik, or if you want to stay truly in budget, RSL. I run an RSL Speedwoofer 10e with LS50 Metas and it's...fine? I wouldn't mind more, but my wife would 😁.

Dunno… Had quite a few different speaker systems but I totally loved my KEF Reference model II speakers and actually am very happy with my LS50 Meta’s now.

I find the KEF R series to be good, but quite overhyped on the forums, usually because of their good measurements. They resolve to a point, and then you would have to go upstream, KEF or otherwise. I had the R3 Meta in house for a little, and they just couldn't hold their own against my (then) curre

For a give cabinet and drivers the active speakers give a greater range, more bass and lower cost than the passive version. LS50 Meta with an amp that is in total double the cost of the Kef LS50 II wireless is claimed to be better. Kef themselves claim that they could not make a passive version of t

If you are an iPhone user you can install Google Chromecast and test also uPnP. I have run TuneBlade on my PC hoping for the low latency Airplay 2 gets via Apple 4K TV but no luck. uPnP, DLNA and Chromecasts sound better then Airplay 2. WiSA is even better and the speakers much improved using WiSA t

I think the primary benefit you would appreciate with that switch would be the improvement in volume within a relatively large space. the LSX II are a great-sounding speaker for near field, but you are probably pushing them hard in a room that size. the flipside is that I think the LSX II has somewh

There's a reason it's this price... Take it from many disgruntled kef lsx and ls50 owners that you just don't want to go down this route If you have more space and are looking at wiim ultra look out for R3 reasonably priced second hand speakers instead - edited to say can see someone else recommends
