Launched in 2011, the original KEF LS50 was a smash-hit from day one. The new KEF LS50 Meta takes all the award-winning ingredients of the original and introduces new technology for sensational sound quality.
Hear the sound, just as it should be, with MAT
Developed in conjunction with Acoustic Metamaterials Group, the LS50 Meta makes use of an exciting new technology called MAT (Metamaterial Absorption Technology). The revolutionary material absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter, for lower distortion and a much purer, more natural sound.
Legendary Uni-Q drive units deliver studio quality sound
KEF’s history includes making some of the most precise-sounding monitor speakers. Used in recording studios around the world, KEF-branded speakers and other brands using KEF drive units are behind so many classic mixes. Now in its 12th generation, the Uni-Q driver array places the revised tweeter within the middle of the woofer, creating a more cohesive sound. The magnesium/ aluminium woofer is light and rigid – making it fast to respond and entirely faithful to the music playing.
Foot-tappingly musical
Although some monitor speakers can sound clinical to listen to, this is not the case with the KEF LS50 Meta. The super-rigid cabinet features a curved compound front baffle. Combined with the tweeter’s ‘tangerine’ wave-guide, this helps spread the sound far out into your room – making listening to these speakers an enveloping experience, wherever you’re sitting in the room.
Punchy, lifelike bass
For such small speakers, the LS50 Metas hit hard. Thanks to Z-Flex surrounds, the woofers move across an extended range, giving deep, powerful bass. More important than just being ‘deep’, the bass is extremely well controlled and lifelike. The computer-aided design of the rear port promotes flow and reduces turbulence – meaning the bass sounds fast and accurate.
A design classic
Just as enduring as the sound, the LS50 Meta’s design has similar long-lasting appeal. The smooth, clean design is striking yet still easy on the eye. Choose between Carbon Black, Mineral White, Titanium Grey or Royal Blue, for the style that best suits you.
Get straight to the heart of the music, with the KEF LS50 Meta.

Superb detailed sound
I bought these to replace some Jim Rogers JR149 monitor speakers and they are absolutely superb!
The accuracy of the sound and the detail are flawless.
Bearing this in mind, the size is remarkable!
I would highly recommend these speakers!

First Class As Always
Great advice as always. Nothing is too much trouble and you feel like you're talking to one of your mates rather than an employee.

Aural Pleasure
I have only had these 10 days, so they are not run in yet, but the sound gets better every day. They really are a thing of wonder.

Cool looks hot sounds
I love my new KEF speakers. Not cheap but innovative technology, stylishly constructed and most importantly great sound. Very crisp and clear reproduction powered by a 15 year old Panasonic surround sound system. A little light on base at low volume, but this may be due to the ‘wearing in’ of the diaphragms which are a little stiff when new born. The guys in store were really helpful, thanks Stephen and Mark. As you can see in the photo they look modern but a little retro.
