Abstract: The KEF LS-50 is fast becoming one of the most talked about speakers around, and I suppose it's time for a reviewer at Dagogo to talk about them. Residing in Hong Kong I live in an apartment that is well suited to the KEF LS-50. Well suited means small if...
KEF 50th Anniversary LS50 monitors are a smashing success in every category: sound, appearance, design, and value. LS50s can be dropped into a system with far more expensive components without out anyone blinking an eye. KEF feels confident enough abou...

It's not very often that a $1,500 pair of loudspeakers shakes up an entire product category and can hold its own against products that are four times the price, but the KEF LS50 does just that. Solid engineering, gorgeous design, and excellent sound q...

Outstanding depth, scale and imaging, Consistently fun to listen to, Handsome and well made
Fairly demanding electrical load, Will not act as an automatic 'quick fix' to improve every system

Exceptional sonic transparency, Subtle and precise presentation, Innovative technology,
Nothing at this price,
We've always loved the LS50s and this new version takes their performance to a notably higher level. We think KEF is on to something with the Metamaterial technology and can't wait to see how it develops. As things stand, that tech and all the other work...
