## Description

desertcart.com: KEF LS50 Meta Passive Bookshelf Speakers - Pair (Royal Blue) : Electronics

Review: exceptional clarity and precision - KEF LS50 Meta deliver exceptional clarity and precision. Paired with the UniFi amplifier, they excel with classical and spoken audio—sharp highs from the aluminum Uni-Q driver outperform soft-cone systems. Compact yet acoustically potent, they expose detail rather than compensate for weak sources. Passive design demands quality amplification. High-fidelity bookshelf speakers that elevate any properly built system.
Review: Reference standard reasonably-prices stand speaker. - Love ‘em. The most amazing thing about these speakers is that, by design, they are both time and phase coherent. So what? Well, that means on a good recording, you can hear exactly where the vocalists and instruments are placed in three dimensions. You can even hear different voices within acquire and different instruments within an orchestra very well. They also nail the dynamics of percussion like nothing I’ve ever heard in this price range. I don’t consider Stereophile magazine to be the absolute reference, but I do put some credibility in their reviews. They include the speakers in the “restricted low frequency” section of their recommended components in “Class A,” and some of the reviewers use them as their reference speakers. That is saying a lot, considering that many of their recommended speakers cost more than the average new car today. I’ve used them with extremely good separate components by Audio Research and McIntosh, but you don’t have to have that quality of electronics for these to sound excellent. I use them with a pair of subwoofers, but I have turned the subwoofers almost all way down, and they still have extremely good bass although not at the lowest octaves. I think the mids and highs are amazing too, especially considering that they use metal drivers. I got really turned off on metal tweeters by a pair of B&W speakers I had, but these exhibit, none of the sizzle and ringing that those did. Further, I think they’re great for almost any genre of music, from Black Sabbath to Beethoven. I have since upgraded my speakers because I got an incredible deal on a pair of Evolutions, but from time to time I consider swapping these back in because there’s something about them I kinda still miss. That said, I’m not selling them. They literally are the types of components that I know I would regret if I ever got rid of them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
