![]() ![]() Kick ass - these KEFs are really an unbelievable value at the price. I am that pleased by the sound of this Brit. John addressed these improvements, and accordingly, I may even buy the newer model for one of my rooms in the US. With the DSP the W model is great the Meta version probably addresses the issues I had to deal with, with the EQ necessary on the earlier model. Pretty much the same driver KEF uses in its $32,000 BLADE. It's obvious: KEF got things right with an unusual, but obviously brilliantly-designed and well-built driver in a well-braced cabinet. I could superimpose one graph on the other. I used real time FFT with peak hold on a variety of music streams - with optical wire, no USB here - to get a response almost the same I was getting with two high end headphones. I applied some EQ to take down the bass (along with the speaker's own built-in DSP functions to limit the output, which was overwhelming). ![]() My flat there, in an 1847 World Heritage building, has 4 meter high ceilings, meter thick walls, and parquet. I think others have had the same experience as I.īut the KEFs didn't realize their performance limits until I dragged them to Budapest in two luggages. There is no upside to external components and wires not as well matched to the driver as KEF accomplished within the whole package. The built-in DAC/amps outperformed the nekkid speaker with a far more expensive external amplifier. The powered model was significantly better than the base speaker with any amplifier I used it with. Simply put, it way exceeded my expectations here in the US where I tested them first. On a whim for my Budapest flat I purchased the second pair of LS50's, this time the wireless W-designated model.
