## Description

desertcart.com: KEF LS50 Meta (Pair, Carbon Black) : Electronics

Review: 5 stars, but Wimpy cheap amps and budget equipment? Don't bother. - I see a lot of reviews here saying they sound bad. It's simply not true, because then I see what they are running, and its a very low tier amp. Your "200" watt Emotiva BasX or similar class amp simply does not have the torque that these speakers need. I know, I own several Emotiva amps. I'm an audiophile, and have lots of gear, it's the hobby. I'm running these off comparably priced equipment, all of my gear is in the price wheelhouse of the Ls50. My amps are Orchard Audio class D GaN monoblocks with GaN power supplies. I run a Gustard X26 Pro dac, dual mono dacs, dual mono power supplies, excellent clocks. This speaker goes down to 3 ohms. Your cheap amp is likely begging for mercy at this impedance regardless of "200 watts". You need high quality. Give these high quality components and this speaker is AMAZING. I have 7 sets of speakers. All different types, Magnepans, CSS Audio, bunch of stuff. These speakers are worth every penny! But bear in mind their performance sits right where the price range is. These are not $10000 speakers for 1600. You get what you pay for. That said, in the 2K range, they are probablyunbeatable, for overall performance. Another caveat though is I have a pair of subs, near field, 3 feet off the ground, perfectly tuned with these speakers. You need a setup like this for perfect full range sound. If you're an audiophile, I recommend starting with these, make sure you have nice, NICE components to back them up, and a pair of subs when you can do it. I'm running 2 RSL Speedwoofer 10s. If you just buy these, you don't own subs, and your equipment is like $200 dac, no preamp, $500 amp, low level stuff, you're going to wonder what all the fuss is about and return them. Do them right, you may never shop for speakers ever again.
Review: Excellent sound quality! - After considerable research, I got a pair of these speakers. They are superb - best of quality for their price range. Excellent sound quality! And, they are hugely attractive!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent sound quality!

After considerable research, I got a pair of these speakers. They are superb - best of quality for their price range. Excellent sound quality! And, they are hugely attractive!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent speakers - typical "audiophile" BS in the reviews
*by D***. on November 7, 2025*

These are not party speakers, these are speakers for enjoying in small rooms at moderate levels. If you understand that, you will probably like them. It's obvious by the design, a 4" woofer with a concentric tweeter, that they are not meant to move a ton of air. Distortion rises quickly when you crank the volume. You can mitigate this somewhat by integrating subwoofers, but it's still a limitation. With that in mind, you don't need a huge amp or a subwoofer to enjoy the LS50 Meta. With basic components and at reasonable levels you will get neutral tonality, low distortion, wide dispersion, large soundstage, and clear imaging. Hard to beat, just don't expect to drive them with a 40wpc amp. If you want sub-bass extension, they will benefit from integrating a subwoofer. Just like every other bookshelf speaker. Now look at the waveguide. It's a work of art.
