Are they the most accurate, detailed, or full range speakers? Nope. ![]() I've been listening to pair of LS50 Meta's the past few days. Sounds like KEF may be onto something that is dealing with both by having the meta materia and a rigid cabinet. I'm certainly not a designer or engineer, just thinking about this from a layman's perspective. smeared detail and loss of texture), but even an anti-resonant cabinet has to deal with backwave pressure and secondary energy leaking back out of the driver. I guess cabinet resonance and backwave energy can manifest in similar ways (i.e. However, isn't cabinet resonance different from backwave energy? Sounds like the meta material in the KEF is designed to absorb backwave energy resulting in a more open, detailed sound. I curious about these and what sensitivity they will have. Our monitors are totally unique in terms of clarity and imaging state of the art the enclosure does not vibrate or resonante at all the material is50 trimes more inert than mdf or aluminium total game changer You will be hearing ing our setups at axponna when the shows start again our sub monitor Package is goiing after Wilson and magico for 15k with bass down to 10 hz and tuneable to match the room size Our new monitors are in a class by themselvelves nonene has ever produced a cabinet like this think 30k to 50k sound for 3500 when uzed with a good subbwoofer Handling the backwave effectively in a box speaker is always a huge deal and an area still ripe for technical innovation I would say! Will KEF sell their new sound absorbing technology so others have a chance? IF it does what it says it would open up a lot of box speaker designs for me that I typically go out of the way to avoid given the options. HE was adroit enough to also appreciate Ohm Walsh speakers after all (which uses a "tuflex" block to absorb the backwave in the Walsh style driver which is itself a totally different beast from most "box" speakers in terms of how it operates.for the better I would say). ![]() On the other hand if Guttenberg says 10 versus 6.5 as he describes, that’s the bottom line. One would expect the speakers could get warm with all that extra energy converted to heat. Absorbing most of the backwave as advertised sounds really good, but would like to see some tests to confirm the effectiveness advertised especially compared to the alternatives. ![]() From what I read about how KEF has always gone about applying technology very meticulously and fairly openly with the ls50s ( a big reason why I bought them ie what went into the impressive design was published and made very transparent to any interested buyer), my gut tells me this may well be the real deal and should upgrade my ls50s given the modest cost difference.Ĭould it be hype though? IT’s gamechanging technology if the hype is true.
