I am happy to recommend the KEF LS50 Meta. But really, this is an excellent speaker. But that is not there so a notch lower for me. Make this speaker handle more dynamics in bass and I would kiss the ground it walks on. I was not a fan of the original but they have won me over with near perfect measurements and listening test results. KEF moves the bar it set with the LS50 with the Meta revision. I don't want to know limits of equipment I use. With two speakers, it would be plenty for most people. That said, I had no trouble getting usable volume out of one speaker.

The driver is simply too small/lacks the excursion for high dynamic range. Push it to move more and you are in distortion territory. Follow View all 3 employees About us Speaker management is a.

MAT definitely gave sound quality a significant boost on the LS50 Meta especially in the midrange and treble and since then we’ve really just been waiting for MAT to find its way onto all the other KEF speakers with Uni-Q units. Meta Speakers is a professional speaker management agency committed to authentically serving its speakers and partners. By the time you see any significant separation/movement of the woofer, the bass starts to change. White Reference 5 Meta with champagne-coloured Uni-Q unit. Since 1973, The Reference has continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. It separates from the tweeter which is kind of disconcerting but that is how the coaxial driver works. Notch the volume even higher and you are greeted with scary crackle. As I turned up bass heavy track, the low bass notes change their tonality and quickly become distorted. It wouldn't make things worse and maybe the combination would make more of a difference. I suppose if you wanted to be anal about it, you could fill the holes. We just don't have that kind of discrimination in frequency in that range.
At that level, turning it on and off showed basically non-existent difference as predicted by psychoacoustics. Getting it to fill that gap requires a Q of something like 7. Wanting to see the effect of the dips in 1 to 3 kHz, I developed a single filter at 1189 Hz. For confirm I went through the rest of my test playlist and the answer stayed the same. Usually the first few seconds of the first track tells me most of what I need to know about the sound of the speaker and this situation was no different. I always test speakers with the same set of tracks and in the same order. This so called spinorama shows us just about everything we need to know about the speaker with respect to tonality and some flaws:
Reference axis is approximately the center of the tweeter.Īcoustic measurements can be grouped in a way that can be perceptually analyzed to determine how good a speaker is and how it can be used in a room. Clear high frequency response is responsible for ease of measurement in this regard. I performed over 1000 measurement which resulted in error rate of about 1%. In a nutshell, the measurements show the actual sound coming out of the speaker independent of the room. Both of these factors enable testing in ordinary rooms yet results that can be more accurate than an anechoic chamber. It also measures the speaker at close distance ("near-field") which sharply reduces the impact of room noise. This is a robotic measurement system that analyzes the speaker all around and is able (using advanced mathematics and dual scan) to subtract room reflections (so where I measure it doesn't matter). In the intervening years, theyve learned new tricks that make the KEF LS50 Meta. Measurements that you are about to see were performed using the Klippel Near-field Scanner (NFS). KEF hit a home run in 2011 when they introduced LS50 bookshelf speakers. Speaker also feels quite dense and solid which is good.
