The original LS50, with its combination of outstanding performance, value for money, and time-tested reliability, makes a compelling case for itself. For a listener entering the audiophile world or someone looking for a reliable and exceptional pair of mo...
The original LS50 is the speaker that made me love the KEF sound, and the LS50 Meta only improves upon that by reducing the coloration of the sound to be even more natural than before. The flaws in the LS50 are not flaws but limitations, as a compact moni...

The original LS50 might not have the low-frequency extension and power of the Marten Oscar Duo or the Golden Ear BRX that I reviewed in September 2020. Neither does it have the airy high frequencies offered by the Bowers & Wilkins 705 Signature. But to a...

The KEF LS50 Wireless speakers are what I'd consider a lifestyle speaker, in that they break away from a series of black boxes and look attractive in a living room. However, the connotations of a lifestyle speaker are that you're putting style before subs...

KEF's LS50W is an outstanding loudspeaker. Its build quality, finish, and technical prowess are beyond reproach, and its sound quality remains faithful to both KEF's design principles and to the original LS50. That KEF has been able to stuff so much hardw...
