The prices of the proposed amps are very high. The curved appearance of the front baffle helps with nothing being in the way of sound, common to the hard edges of box designs refracting sounds. Since I only know KEF, I thought I might prefer the KEF LS50 Meta by doing research there, but I couldn't quite understand what kind of amp to take with it. Interestingly putting ones finger into the port you can feel a velvet like material. They say the port walls prevent resonances from colouring the midrange which leads to improved clarity, depth and detail. The ports differ in shape to the original LS50’s but which KEF have re-designed to delay the onset of turbulence. LS50 Meta may look sensational, but as a high-performance loudspeaker every aspect of its design is a case of form following function. Most LS3/5a wannabes follow its conventional design principles separate woofer and tweeter housed in a traditionally styled.

KEF produced the drivers for that classic design but that’s where comparisons end. He goes on to say however “the killer feature is really our new meta-material technology”. Technical innovations aside, the LS50 Meta remains a 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker inspired by the legendary BBC LS3/5a monitor. I ran my LS50s (not meta) with great results powered by a Hypex Class-D NC122-mp with balanced inputs. KEF’s Jack Oclee-Brown says “we have refined the motor system of these speakers to reduce distortion, improved the cone performance by having a second generation de-couple, and have added a tweeter gap damper which helps with resonances around the tweeter”. The result is an icon in waiting : the KEF LS50 Meta Standmount Speakers. In the UK, Neat’s £1,385 Iota Alpha and Definitive Technology’s $1000 Demand D11 speakers, are competition.īut it’s a tough act to follow these KEF’s which have seemingly gone through so much design and tweaking.
