Is it worth the money to spend an extra £1250 R RoA Well-known member 665 370 2,270 2 Absolutely yes imo. I have a Marrantz PM6005 and a chromecast audio (this is all I need to stream).

The original LS50 has been widely reviewed, and is well regarded by audiophiles everywhere. KEF's engineers have upheld this philosophy and sought out new technological breakthroughs leading to the KEF LS50 Meta speakers. 1 I wanted to buy the KEF LS50 Wireless2 but I see the LS50 Meta are much cheaper. OctoThe original KEF LS50 was one of those landmark speakers, a pocket rocket which performed at a much higher level than what it’s price tag might indicate. The LS50 Meta are now the class leader at this level 899.99 at Crutchfield 1,599.99 at Amazon 1,599. low volume listening is also the best I've experienced. off axis and imaging is absolutely wonderful as well. I don't know how is this possible since being detailed and warm is oxymoron. It in fact sounded just a tad warm yet highly detailed. It is really detailed yet it doesn't sound bright. The iconic LS50 personified this approach taking its cues from the classic LS3/5A before quickly becoming a modern icon. Verdict KEF has taken an excellent speaker and made it even better with its innovative Metamaterial tech. The LS50 meta is as what the reviews said. ago As someone that finds the original LS50s harsh and too bright, I wonder if I would prefer the Metas based on what youve found. Since 1961, KEF‘s mission has been to preserve the integrity of original sound by providing a revealing listening experience that is as true to the original recording as is possible within the confines of a room. It is a remarkable little speaker that delivers some of the best performance I’ve seen for a speaker in this price range without DSP.
