KEF LS50 Mini Monitor Preview

 

Preview: The thing that makes the KEF LS50 mini-monitors so exciting is the price. $1500 a pair may sounds reasonable to us given the level of technology that has gone into KEF LS50s.

Review: KEF LS50 Wireless II | Burn Your Soundbar KEF LS50 Wireless II

 

Wireless music in stereo has never been better than with KEF's small speakers.

Full and transparent soundstage with excellent dynamics. Compact and easy to use, with good connectivity, and support for high definition streaming.

The price versus size ratio can be daunting.

KEF LS50 Wireless II Active Loudspeakers

 

I find these comparisons very telling. Sonically, the LS50 Wireless II is a significant upgrade over the first-generation LS50 Wireless, a SoundStage! Network Product of the Year winner. And functionally, the LS50WII is a massive upgrade over its...

Review: KEF LS50 Meta | Sensationally Good Sound KEF LS50 Meta

 

There are many good compact speakers, but none like KEF LS50 Meta.

Large open, transparent sound image with details and playful dynamics. Compact and easy to place, great speaker for the money.

Limited deep bass. Otherwise nothing.

Review: KEF LS50 Wireless | Modern Stereo KEF LS50 Wireless

 

KEF does it again with a wireless edition of one of the best loudspeakers we have tested.

Beautiful sound and convenient loudspeaker for those who stream a lot. Excellent connectivity and you can adapt the sound to the room.

May seem complicated to set up, some deficient app control without Spotify or Tidal being integrated.

KEF LS50W Wireless Loudspeakers

 

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...
