Kef ls 50 meta12/29/2023 He also compares the sound of them to an OB speaker like the PAP Trio, which is quite a leap.Īnyhow, will be interested if any folks end up getting or listening to a pair of these.Ĭlick to expand.While I don’t particularly like the ‘grandpa’ reference since it seems derogatory (and I’m sure there are a number of grandpas on this forum), he does seem to indicate they are less forgiving than the previous LS50s. ![]() He says, with respect to transparency, detail, imaging, depth and spatial cues etc, he rates the OG LS50 at about a 6.5 or 7 out of 10 compared to the new ones.
