![]() ![]() Additionally, the tweeter is treated to a new 100W class A/B amplifier. Like the LS50 Meta, the LS50 Wireless II also benefits from the 12th generation Uni-Q driver featuring the new Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), but this time powered by a new 280W Class D amplifier. The KEF LS50 Meta is available now for £1,000, with the S2 Floor Stand costing £400 - all prices are, of course, per pair. ![]() Putting the cherry on top (or, rather, underneath), KEF is also now offering the bespoke, colour-matched, S2 Floor Stand, which locks on to the new LS50 Collection speakers via a threaded inset for extra peace of mind. That, along with the gently curved front and four matte colourways, means that that the LS50 Meta will easily make itself at home. Thanks to the recessed port and speaker terminals, finding somewhere suitable to sit the LS50 should be a breeze. All seamlessly combine to achieve exceptional depth, detail and the lowest sound distortion of any speaker in its class, says KEF, as well as a claimed frequency range of 47 Hz - 45 kHz and 85 dB sensitivity. Other enhancements include an off-set flexible bass port, a low diffraction curved baffle, and rigid cross bracing with constrained layer damping. MAT is said, “to eliminate 99% of high-frequency distortion from the rear of the driver for pure, natural sound.” The LS50 Meta sees KEF's legendary LS50 passive bookshelf speaker not only being treated to the 12th generation of the famed Uni-Q driver, but it also boasts the addition of the new Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), as hinted by its name. You can read more about KEF's joint development initiative with the Acoustic Metamaterials Group, as reported by StereoNET here. Furthermore, this is also its world-first implementation in a loudspeaker. ![]() KEF has created a synthetic material that has the super capacity to absorb all unwanted sound radiating from the rear of the driver, reducing distortion and enabling the prevention of audio distraction. If you have been keeping tabs on the Kent, UK-based manufacturer, it will come as no surprise that both models benefit from Metamaterial. KEF says that “after three years of intensive research, the latest LS50 Collection speakers have raised the benchmark even further by delivering an unprecedented purity of sound coupled with intuitive usability.” KEF's LS50 bookshelf speaker range gains a pair of all-new models in the LS50 Meta and LS50 Wireless II models.īoth speakers are said to be an innovative evolution from previous iterations. ![]()
